Winogradsky columns are ideal for observing the role of bacteria and other microorganisms in an ecosystem. This student activity guide is complete with data tables for observations and analysis questions for processing what was observed....

Take young biologists back to the beginning of life on Earth with this presentation on bacteria. Examining the different classifications of bacteria, this presentation introduces young scientists to the concepts of autotrophs and...

A series of questions about archaebacteria and eubacteria reinforce a chapter on viruses and bacteria. This worksheet is from chapter 18 of an unspecified textbook, but could work with your biology lecture as well. High schoolers...

New species of Bacteria are still being discovered.  These Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are described, and examples of the main sub-groups are included along with some diagrams about reproduction, nutrition, and effects.

A concise, yet comprehensive note-taking guide is provided by this collection of slides. Using the bullet-point format, the different types, shapes, and characteristics of bacteria are listed. This resource would be of great value as an...

The first slide lists the six kingdoms in the biological hierarchy, but the remaining 10 slides cover characteristics of archaebacteria and eubacteria. Topics include how energy is obtained, arrangement, and shape. This brief, but...

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...

Explore the history of cholera and its effect on society with your biology class. Young biologists will then proceed to grow their own germs, prepared from live cultures, and follow the steps of the scientific method to generate data....

Lead your high school class on an exploration inside the cell. Individuals investigate the relationships between cells structure and function given their relative locations on the cell membrane. They explore the concept of homeostasis...

Lead your biology class on a cell-sized adventure! Emerging scientists construct models of prokaryotes, then design an experiment to properly grow a bacterial culture. They conclude the activity by viewing the culture under a microscope....

For as small as they are, there sure is a lot of information for young scientists to learn about bacteria. Help simplify the subject with this instructional presentation that explores the structure, nutrition, and reproduction of...

Students explore the evolution and features of bacteria through a series of activities. In this biology lesson, students collect data and graph bacterial growth. They design a brochure about bacteria's role in society.

They're everywhere! They're everywhere! Prokaryotes cover the Earth! Biology buffs survey the microscopic world of bacteria, including their general structure, metabolism, commercial uses, and diseases caused by pathogenic varieties....

Life science learners discuss the characteristics of five kingdoms of life: animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria in this video. Viewers find out from the dialogue that scientists group organisms according to similarities. This...

Students are able to define microbes and identify the five main groups of microbes. They are able to give examples of ways in which microbes have impacted or currently impact human life. Students are able to explain that not all microbes...

An eight-unit electronic textbook provides a guide to AP® Biology. Each of the 28 chapters include an introduction, multiple lessons, a summary, review questions, and test prep questions. Teachers see how each lesson connects to a big...

In this design a tour of the archaebacteria kingdom worksheet, students read about the kingdom moneran being split into two kingdoms, one of which is the archaebacteria, then use the information to design a silly tour brochure for the...

Although these slides are text rich, the summaries of prokaryote characteristics will be useful. There are diagrams of preferred cell conditions and your students will find all the basic definitions of structure and functions...

The human body is an amazing thing! Explore the body with your high school class as they investigate each system in detail. They learn components of each organ system and disease processes that can negatively affect general health and...

Demonstrate the ratio of surface area to volume in your high school class by using phenolphthalein, gelatin, and an onion. Intrigue the class by leading a discussion on osmosis and diffusion, then making "scientific jello." Participants...

Students describe Archaea. In this biology lesson, students examine biological communities and the role Archaea plays. Students will compare and contrast the Archaea with bacteria and eukaryote.

Seventh graders define the term microbe. They identify the five main groups of microbes. Students give examples of ways in which microbes have impacted or currently impact human life. They create a hypotheses for where they expect to...

Zoe and RJ discuss the way scientists classify organisms into five kingdoms. Characteristics of each group are highlighted within their conversation and with text. First-time taxonomists can view the animation at home, take the...

Sixth graders create a KWL chart about microorganisms. In this biology lesson, 6th graders create and label a diagram on a microbial mat. They investigate the processes involved in the carbon, oxygen and sulfur cycles.
