Students learn the mechanics of vision. In this biology lesson plan, students discover the relationship of light to vision, how light moves, how that affects what we see, and some structural aspects of the eye.

Students discover how plants breathe. For this biology lesson plan, students learn that plants take in carbon dioxide and find that plants need sunlight to absorb the carbon dioxide.

Students listen to their heart beats. In this biology lesson plan, students explore pulse rates and factors that cause them to change. Students also construct both a graph to show variation in pulse rates and a simple stethoscope.

Students look at the functions of the body. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the functioning of some body part and construct a "living doll" composed of the body parts discussed.

Learners explore visual sense. In this biology lesson plan, students perform a series of tests on the reliability of their visual sense, record their observations for each test, and conclude from their data how reliable their visual...

Students gain an understanding of the respiratory system. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate how air enters and leaves the lungs, and explore the relationship between breathing rate and exercise.

Eighth graders consider how they use their senses. In this biology lesson plan, 8th graders understand the definition of a disability and how it affects Americans who are hearing impaired or deaf, and those Americans who are visually...

Students explore the sense of taste. In this biology lesson plan, students investigate the sense of tastes as they experience salty, sour, bitter, and sweet tastes. Students then discover how taste buds do their job.

Students study the immune system. In this biology lesson plan, students explore illustrations that show how viruses can appear as foreign invaders in the blood. Students also role play how the immune system responds to a virus.

Students identify the female pelvic organs, understand the changes that occur during puberty, and learn what specific organs are involved in these changes. In this biology lesson plan, students learn the path of the human egg cell during...

Students explore the sense of taste. In this biology lesson plan, students consider 4 types of tastes, recognize the papillae or receptors on the tongue, and locate and label the different taste sense organs on the tongue.

Students explore blood circulation. In this biology lesson plan, students learn what blood is and explain the circular movement of blood going into and out of the heart.

Students explore the skeletal system and external body development of a full term fetus. In this biology lesson plan, students learn that growth of a full-term fetus' skeletal system and external body parts become more detailed and...
