Genetics
A handout on genetic inheritance begins with a reading on alleles and how they can result in albinism. Junior geneticists learn to complete Punnett squares and participate in a coin toss simulation of allele pairing. They also learn...
Curated OER
Experimentation with Teratogens on Zebrafish
Students compare mitosis and meiosis with regard to chromosome number in parent cells versus daughter cells, types of cells produced, total number of cells produced, and the number of divisions. In groups, identify and differentiate the...

Investigation of Meiosis in Common Plants and Animals
Young scholars witness various stages of mitosis through preparing onion root tip slides. With teacher guidance, they learn a great deal through the hands-on process of preparing the slides themselves.
Curated OER
Meiosis
In this meiosis worksheet, students study a diagram showing the different phases in meiosis I and meiosis II to complete 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Review of Cell Reproduction
In this biology review worksheet, students complete 50 multiple choice questions on the stages of mitosis and meiosis. They compare and contrast the two.

THE EMBRYO GAME
Learners develop a game similar to BINGO. They compare the reproduction and embryo development of different organisms while initiating group and cooperative learning. They constuct cards from vocabulary words.
Curated OER
Cell (Biology)
Students conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. In this biology lesson plan, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.

The Cell
In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to cells of the body. There are 31 biology terms located in the word search.
Curated OER
Genetic Terms
In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to genetics. There are 15 biology terms located in the word search.
Curated OER
Time Conceptualization
Students use this activity to establish a new mode of reference to the conceptualization of time. To present hominid evolution in terms of millions of years and endosymbiosis of eukaryotes in billions of years carries little meaning to...
