Students explore the different characteristics of the cell using a virtual lab. In this biology lesson, students classify an unknown cell sample based on its properties. They demonstrate mastery of the subject by creating a presentation of their findings.
Students examine different levels of organization in biological systems for structure and function relationships. In this biological systems lesson, students use Internet resources to look at structure and function in the eye, the cell, protein synthesis, and sickle cell anemia. Resources and detailed instructions are provided.
A 17-page practice final exam for a college-level introductory biology course is contained in this resource. Matching and short answer questions cover every topic that you would expect to teach during an advanced biology course including DNA and general genetics, enzyme activity, protein structure, nerve impulses, metabolic pathways, and more. Since it is a practice exam, the answers follow.
Life science learners list and describe 10 major themes that biology courses are built around. They are introduced to the three domains and they consider the unity and diversity of living things. If your textbook does not have a chapter specifically dealing with these concepts, you could use this as a guide for your first day lecture introducing beginning biologists to the course.
In this biology instructional activity, students read about biological taxonomy. They then use the information they learned to answer the 13 questions on the instructional activity. The answers are on the last page of the packet.
"Does King Phillip Cry Over Flimsy Grass Stems?" You might not answer that question with this exhaustive worksheet, but your biology class will get the full scoop on the hierarchy of biological classification with this resource. It includes seven pages of tables, charts, and phylogenic trees for comparing characteristics at different levels. After it is completed, it will serve as an all-encompassing study guide for a unit exam.
Students study how an organism must have an organized system for proper growth and development. In this investigative lesson students illustrate the function of a cell.
Sixth graders observe different microorganisms under the microscope. In this biology instructional activity, 6th graders draw and describe the samples they see. They study the root nodules of plants and explain how the plants benefit from those bacteria.
Young scholars analyze data taken from proteomic experiments. In this biology lesson, students explain the importance of bioinformatics tools in the study of proteins. They evaluate scientific results using math and computer software.
Seventh graders explain the importance of taxonomy. In this biology lesson plan, 7th graders classify organisms accordingly. They develop a mnemonic to help them remember taxonomy levels.
