Young scholars trace the history of the development of Eugenics. In this social studies lesson, students read and analyze a real life case. They write a paper about what they read.

Learners 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.

Students conduct a variety of experiments to explore protein. In this biology lesson, students solve a mystery by testing for the presence of glucose, protein starch and triglycerides. They explain how DNA transcription and translation...

Students identify the different leaf pigments and colors. In this biology lesson, students perform chromatography to separate them. They explain how light affects green leaf colors and causes falling leaves in autumn.

Students research different areas of biotechnology. In this biology instructional activity, students create a presentation about their research. They debate the topic presented and share their views on the subject.

Students predict traits of future offspring. For this biology lesson, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.

Students design and create their own hypothetical animal. In this biology lesson, students identify the factors organisms need to survive. They classify their animals according to its correct phylum.

After reading a case study, pupils will explore possible diagnoses, assessment, and treatment plans. Finding the definitions to medical vocabulary and sorting through patient history, they will begin to understand the process of...

Students compare human and dog senses. In this biology lesson, students describe different ways that dogs help humans. They research and create a presentation about a modern dog hero.

Students examine the characteristics of different biomes. In this ecology lesson, students design biomes where given animals can live. They discuss the design within the group and share it with the class.

Students complete a pre-test on the relationship between heredity and the environment. As a class, they write down descriptions of themselves and identify which traits can be changed and not changed. In groups, they determine which...

Make a prototype of a game based on cell biology. Researching game design and working in groups to create a game will activate knowledge of cell biology. The review task will help students learning as they test out the games and their...

Third graders examine the nutritional value of different foods. In this health science lesson plan, 3rd graders create a daily log of the foods they eat and categorize them. They plan a healthy menu for their family.

Students create biocards to represent vocabulary from their biology course. They review and reinforce their basic knowledge of terminology, structures, or concepts. They create the cards to test themselves or classmates.

Seventh graders identify the common bones in the human body. In this biology lesson, 7th graders research two bones assigned to them. They explain why bones are important to us.

Eighth graders assess fat content of different food samples. In this biology lesson, 8th graders create a flowchart showing the transport of cholesterol in the bloodstream. They perform tests for the presence of lipids on food samples.

Middle schoolers research about different genetic disorders. In this biology lesson, students create a poster highlighting facts about the disorder. They present their findings in class.

Students apply prior knowledge of living things, structures of living things and how living things sense and respond to their environment. In this habitat lesson plan, students review the basic needs of organisms to survive. Students...

Fifth graders create a timeline of events in a soldiers life.  In this World War I lesson, 5th graders learn about the Great Depression and World War I.  Students watch video segments about World War I and examine primary...

Seventh graders examine the dangers of smoking. In this life science lesson, 7th graders survey their schoolmates about the factors that would influence them to smoke. They present their findings in class by creating a presentation.
