Eighth graders explain the difference between acids, bases and neutral solutions. In this chemistry instructional activity, 8th graders describe the properties of each. They determine the pH of an unknown solution using the indicator...

Students explore the different techniques used in forensic science. In this chemistry lesson, students investigate a fictional crime and identify the culprit. They create a brochure or collage career bulletin.

Tenth graders complete a vocabulary assignment based on terms in the unit. They complete appropriate worksheets as each section of the unit is completed. They participate in classroom discussions. They construct a model of a DNA molecule.

Young scholars study acidic and alkaline balance. In this acid and pH levels lesson, students read information about pH, the formation of acid rain and its impact on environments. Young scholars then complete an experiment to learn...

Students search the World Wide Web to locate an artistic image that inspires an aural composition. They compose a musical piece using loop-based composition software and use file management and storage techniques to archive project work....

Students test the pH of soil samples they collected from the field trip. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate acids and bases. They write a lab report about the experiment.

Young scholars cut out the nucleotide models and have an opportunity to relax and chat. Using imagination, students pretend to be molecules acting out protein synthesis and whole body movement.

Tenth graders work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to create...

Sixth graders describe the physical and chemical properties of acids. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders test the acidity of different solutions. They identify acids and bases using the pH scale.

Learners identify the different steps involved in DNA transcription. In this genetics instructional activity, pupils complete a worksheet and model the translation process with a paper chain activity. They watch a video on sickle cell...

High schoolers use COndon Bingo to decipher genetic codes. Students practice transcription and translation of codons while playing the game. They enjoy playing the game, while actively participating. High schoolers develop an increase...

Fourth graders, using candy, build models of DNA replication, RNA transcription, and tRNA translation.

Students identify the different types of fractals. In this geometry lesson, students use math to analyze different biological phenomena. They collect data from the experiments and construct graphs.

Students compare the carbon dioxide content of four different samples. For this chemistry lesson, students research the causes of global warming. They explain how humans contribute to rising global temperature.

Learners use red and blue litmus paper to determine the category of common substances. They then set up an experiment using vinegar, water, and ammonia (or milk of magnesia) to determine that acids make the best solution for dyeing...

Although not particularly educational, here is a creative group activity in which high school biologists will use their imaginations to create a new life form combining characteristics from existing life forms. Each group must come up...

Students explain the importance of water in our daily lives. In this aquatic science lesson, students identify different ways to purify water and make it potable. They design and construct a water filter based on researched information.

Students synthesize information gathered from the web on reading the DNA code. In this upper-level biology instructional activity, students use an online resource to gain information about DNA codes and then create posters on what they...

Learners conduct a variety of experiments to explore gel electrophoresis. In this biology lesson, explain how this process separate DNA and RNA. They discuss the practical applications of this method.

Students explain the concepts of what DNA is and where it is located in a cell, identify the two types of molecules that make up the rungs of a DNA molecule and identify the two types of Purine and Pyrimidine molecules

Reebops are cute, marshmallow-based creatures that can be used to teach inheritance. Beginning biologists draw strips of paper that represent chromosomes from two envelopes, one for the father, and one for the mother. Each parent...

Students investigate different purposes for manipulating DNA. After reviewing the structure and functions of DNA, students explore topics related to the use or manipulation of DNA and the potential benefits and problems, later making a...

Students summarize their classmates' presentation in class. In this biology lesson, students create a graphic organizer based on concepts presented. They discuss and share their organizer.

Eighth graders explain how protein is made in the cell. In this biology lesson plan, 8th graders translate RNA and DNA using an internet database. They determine the thief based on evidence collected.
