In this classification worksheet, learners use information describing the ways biologists compare living things to complete 4 matching questions.

For this how HIV infects cells worksheet, learners read the given information about how HIV infects cells. Students explain the role of various structures in HIV infection. Learners design a drug that might slow the rate of cellular...

Students use the Internet to gather information about genetics, then research a genetic disorder. In this biology lesson plan, students listen to an interview with a geneticist, watch an animation of "chromosome coiling", then research...

Eighth graders explore how different organisms pass their traits to their offspring. In this life science lesson, 8th graders differentiate recessive and dominant alleles. They predict the phenotype based on the genotype of an organism.

Students make models of protiens using wire and paperclips. They are given step by step instructions with lots of information about proteins throughout the directions. They make the three basic structual elements of proteins;...

Young scholars explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.

Matching and fill-in-the-blank exercises give biology whizzes a chance to practice vocabulary associated with evolution. Terms to be reviewed focus on evidence for evolution, natural selection concepts, and some genetics words. You could...

Young scholars experiment with chromatography as a technique which is similar to electrophoresis that scientists use to identify DNA samples.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to DNA. There are 29 biology terms located in the word search.

Rotating through five stations, evolutionary biologists explore the question of how changes in DNA facilitate the changes in a population over time. High-quality, colorful cards of animals, skeletons, skulls, and DNA sequences can all be...

The metaphors used here to describe the "cut and paste" procedures for genetic engineering will really help your biologists in their understanding of restriction enzymes and DNA.  The uses of genes that are isolated and incorporated...

Covering the molecular interactions involved with DNA packing and the control of gene activity in depth, this slideshow is useful for higher-level biology students. The biochemical components of protein translation are diagrammed and...

Can science scholars describe a nucleus without mentioning DNA, or a chloroplast without mentioning the color green? Test their organelle understanding through an exciting card game. Groups take turns guessing the correct organelle or...

DNA carries the codes for creating just the right protein. A well-designed activity leads pupils through the process from start to finish and everywhere in between. Guiding questions with supporting video help scholars understand the...
