What happens when genes change? Junior genetic investigators examine the effects of mutation in the third unit of a four-part Biotechnology series. Individuals discover the types of mutations through a series of PowerPoints, then partner...

Do you have early finishers asking what they can do next, or any budding scientists eager to learn more about plant and animal cells? Then here is a cell unit for you! The packet provides scholars with everything they need in order...

Drugs interact with the brain to alter moods, emotions, and behaviors by changing the brain's chemistry, perceptions, and interactions. The final lesson in the Pharmacology unit shows scholars experiments, has them complete four labs,...

Introduce the topic of astrobiology in a unit that's out of this world. Biology scholars examine the search for extraterrestrial life by culturing roundworms, a species that has been key in helping researchers understand the...

Just how fast does bacteria grow? Over the course of three lessons, pupils investigate exponential growth with the use of bacteria growth. During the lesson, bacteria from a cell phone is grown to make a connection to real life. Using...

How did the beginnings of genetic research influence the Nazi party? A thorough, engaging unit incorporates the work of Gregor Mendel, the study of inherited traits, and the use of racism and discrimination during the Holocaust.

In this third unit of a Biology course, students learn about cells and cell structure. They compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and learn about the specialized structures in a cell and what their functions are. They will also learn...

This module focuses on cell structure and how the organelles function together to form the smallest unit of life. The cell theory is also discussed along with the basics features of the cell. Site also includes an interactive practice...

This unit focuses on the unique structure and function of both invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Students review their understanding of animal diversity, and take a closer look at the various organ systems found in the animal kingdom.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Learn more about cell biology in this learning module produced by CK-12.

Good place to start to learn about cells. Includes a step-by-step tutorial describing the process of cell analysis.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The DNA sequence contains the instructions to place units called amino acids into a specific order. When these amino acid are assembled in that specific order,...
