Germs, parasites, and viruses, oh my! Facilitate a lesson on viruses as individuals explore functions of Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. They learn how viruses compare with other organisms in nature and how they contribute to health...

Students describe the anatomy of a virus. In this biology lesson, students compare and contrast the characteristics of bacteria and viruses. They discover the genetic adaptations of viruses over time.

Middle schoolers compare bacteria to viruses to find the differences. In this biology lesson, students research viruses they have been inoculated against, using the Internet. Middle schoolers complete a graphic organizer of their...

Students discover the different sources of pathogens that cause diseases. In this health science lesson, students explore different ways to treat infections. They create a persuasive pamphlet on their position on vaccination.

Learners study the differences between viruses and bacteria. They educate others to the harms and benefits of each by making a newspaper ad, pamphlet or informative article.

High schoolers conduct a series of exploration activity on how vaccines and antibodies work. In this biology lesson, students test how antigens and antibodies work in the body. They discuss the benefits of vaccines in promoting immune...

High schoolers discuss the importance of plankton in the ocean ecosystem. In this biology lesson, students identify the different types plankton by observing them under the microscope. They explain how plankton population affect global...

Seventh graders explain the role of white blood cells in fighting infections. In this life science lesson, 7th graders create flow charts showing the immune response process. They act out and play a game to simulate actions of the immune...

Students determine the physical and chemical factors that affect plant growth. In this biology lesson plan, students explain the role of hormones in plants. They investigate how competition with other plants affect their growth.

Marine biologists research sea ice communities. Assign some groups to construct paper models of sea ice communities in winter, and some to construct models of them in summer. The lesson is simplistic, but the Internet resources provided...

Students explore physical science by participating in a science examination. In this microscope tutorial lesson, students read the book The Naked Eye and discuss the purpose for using a microscope in the field of science. Students...
