Tne New York Regents High School Examinations are comprehensive and include various styles of questions, includingmultiple choice and the analysis of graphs. This particular version, the 2008 Living Environment exam surveys a variety of...

All life requires energy ... and the connection between energy and plant life typically requires photosynthesis. Scholars explore photosynthesis in depth from ATP/ADP through the Calvin cycle. A helpful presentation highlights concepts...

Eukaryotes—were we born from an act of predation that backfired? Ponder this and other questions of evolution with a video from a well-written biology playlist. Topics include the origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts, unusual...

It's a classification sensation! Demystify why we classify using an inquiry activity that helps your class sort things out. Groups begin by classifying a variety of shoes before they research organisms and design their own dichotomous...

Introduce viewers to photosynthesis with a video that begins by explaining the differences between heterotrophs and autotrophs. Then it describes photosynthesis and offers the chemical equation for this process.

A biology v ideo focuses on the various characteristics of the five major phyla of fungi: ascomycota, basidiomycota, chytridomycota, glomeromycota, and zygomycota. 

View how autotrophs and heterotrophs use the energy of the sun to form the energy their cells need, ATP. Learners watch an informative video that details the processes of photosynthesis, learning where it occurs, what molecules are...

How come we don't eat worms, but we eat fish that eat worms? A video features the food chain and explains why a food web is a better explanation for biodiversity. It includes explanations of producers, autotrophs, consumers,...

Transform young biologists into grasshoppers, lizards, and hawks as you teach them about food chains in an interactive life science simulation. Working collaboratively to act out three different scenarios involving these creatures,...

Help young biologists piece together an understanding of cell structure with a comprehensive review activity. Tasking students with describing the function of the organelles found in cells and their relationship with one another, this...

From tiny organisms to entire biomes, young scientists examine the interdependent relationships tying all living and non-living things together with this collection of ecology resources.

Young scientists explore the interdependence of organisms with this simple life science activity. Using the provided template, students create and label tiered pyramids that model the hierarchy of trophic levels in ecosystems.

Take young biologists back to the beginning of life on Earth with this presentation on bacteria. Examining the different classifications of bacteria, this presentation introduces young scientists to the concepts of autotrophs and...

Beginning biologists demonstrate their grasp on cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and energy flow though ecosystems when completing this activity. Fifteen multiple choice and short answer questions test their knowledge. Because of...

Play Jeopardy as you review what might possibly be an entire year's high school biology course! The vast variety of questions requires that you read through the slides to make sure that they all relate to your curriculum. You could make...

These twenty various types of questions related to the cycling of matter and energy require students to match each definition in column 1 with the correct vocabulary term from column 2. Then, students explain what is being demonstrated...

Seventh graders use cognitive skills to identify the needs of living things, describe the needs of living things, and examine how each need is interdependent on one or more other needs. They use affective to communicate effectively with...

Students analyze the similarities in different species. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students classify shoes to mimic the scientific categories of the classification system.

In this biosphere worksheet, high schoolers define ecology, biome, and community. Students compare and contrast autotrophs and heterotrophs and follow the energy flow through a food web. This worksheet has 6 short answer, 11 multiple...

In this biosphere worksheet, learners identify the different levels of organization that ecologists study. Students complete charts, sentences, and answer short answer questions.

In this photosynthesis worksheet, students define the terms provided. Students answer questions about photosynthesis. Students match each term with the description below. Students also write the names of the reactants and products for...

In this digestion instructional activity, students complete statements using researched information about digestion and the digestive system. Students also sketch several figures that relate to digestion.
