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

High schoolers 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.

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

Students 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...

Learners 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

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

Are you looking for a good, solid lesson on sedimentary rocks? This one, produced by the Illinois State Museum, is just such a lesson. Middle schoolers identify common rocks and minerals by analyzing sediments from local water sources....

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

Students 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 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...

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 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 activity, 8th graders translate RNA and DNA using an internet database. They determine the thief based on evidence collected.

High schoolers are able to give examples of local and global sources of pollution. They explain why certain forms of pollution are detrimental to the environment. Students a create a poster promoting Earth Day's message of...

Explore genetically modified foods through various experiments. In this biology lesson, students discuss the safety issues related to GMF's. They conduct a PCR analysis to identify the presence of genetic modification.

Students construct segments of DNA to create a piece of jewelry.  In this genetics lesson plan students create a DNA sequence that they turn into something to wear. 

Young scholars create various design drawings using parallel, oblique, and divergent lines and the medium of black paper and colored gel pens.
