Learners explore the water cycle. In this water cycle instructional activity, students complete a hands-on activity that replicates the water cycle. Learners record their observations.

Students will construct models to obtain understanding about the scientific concept. The kinesthetic learners will benefit from the project. There is ample opportunity for all types of learners to be engaged in this lesson plan.

Learners explore the fermentation process. In this biology lesson plan, students describe the process of glycolysis and infer the reactants and products of fermentation.

Students explore the hidden world of microbes and how our bodies spring into action in response to diseases. This ten lesson unit presents data on several microbial diseases and the reaction of the body's immune system.

Students participate in a lab designed to facilitate the clean up and remove of substances ranging from heavy metals to dynamite. They focus on the remediation of copper. They discuss their results of this open ended inquiry experiment.

Students test unknown solutions for pH levels to determine which organism can live in each environment. They name three substances that they think are acids. Students determine a solution is an acid or base. They define the term pH.

In this science worksheet, learners take the time to think of why animals should not be given as gifts on the Easter Holiday. They fill in the letter with the appropriate vocabulary word.

Students explore the effects of using proper dental hygiene. In this toothpaste experiment lesson, students use eggs, vinegar and crest toothpaste to determine the consequences of plaque on teeth and the effectiveness of toothpaste.

Students examine several types of plants. In this plant instructional activity, students complete activities that require them to identify types of plants, chart plant anatomy, and explain plant propagation.

Students study what a plant gall is and the different types that there are.  In this plant instructional activity students examine what causes galls and how to prevent them.

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

Students examine what amylase is and its history.  In this digestive instructional activity students study the effect amylase has on starch and how temperature affects the rate of activity.

Students explore the basics of DNA and its history.  In this DNA lesson students extract DNA from fruits and understand how it is used in forensics.

Pupils use easily obtained materials to study ecological succession in a microbiological community. They collect water samples from outdoor sources in plastic bottles to observe and record changes.

Students become familiar with microbiology and biotechnology laboratory techniques and observe the results of antibiotic resistance transfer from one bacteria to another via conjugation. They then calculate the "mating efficiency" by...

Students explain how our body fight diseases. In this biology lesson, students identify the role of bacteria and viruses in human illness. They create a PowerPoint presentation and essay at the of the unit.

Students are introduced to biotechnology by using models. The teacher uses A Sourcebook of Biotechnology Activities, Rasmussen and Matheson project co directors. One of the activities in the book is: students use a scale models to very...

Young scholars participate in an experiment in which they practice moving genes from one organism to another. They examine the results of a recombination of jellyfish. They identify different types of bacteria as well.

Learners examine the effects of nitrates and phosphates on the dissolved oxygen levels in different water sources. For this series of 3 lessons, they consider the reasons for nitrate and phosphate level increases and their effects on...

Students research facts about Niger and Madagascar before reading a child's case study and answering questions about malaria prevention. They discuss healthy lifestyle, how bacteria and viruses can affect health and that following...

Students study adhesins and their receptors.  In this science inquiry lesson students experiment to find adherence and use agglutination to identify adhesins. 

Students examine the relationship between leukocyte adhesion and migration in response to chemoattractants. They discuss sterile techniques, observe a demonstration using mock cell culture, and develop a procedure for studying the...

Students research the immigration of America. In this American immigration lesson, students complete a unit of activities to learn about American immigration.

Bright slides with clear diagrams will provide students with a useful, concise summary about gene coding for specific proteins and their regulation.
