Students study prokaryotes and eukaryotes and compare and contrast them. They review the parts of the cell and define th eterms prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In pairs, they identify the organelles in a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic...

Students discover cells make up all living things. In this life science lesson, students investigate living organisms and the cells that create them. Finally the students create a testable question, conduct an investigation, and draw...

Students discuss the different stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson, students work in pairs as they draw and diagram the stages of cell division. They discuss reproduction using pro, meta, ana and telophase.

In this biology trivia worksheet, students write short answers to 101 questions about animal classification, human anatomy, animal facts, and attributes of organisms.

Students examine animal and plant cells using a microscope and participate in a class discussion about the functions of the organelles.  In this biology lesson, students use microscopes and videos to better understand the functions...

One friend explains to another that plants combine water and carbon dioxide with the energy of the sun to produce sugar and oxygen. She mentions the roles of the roots, chloroplasts, and stomata in an engaging video that reviews how...

Learners study meiosis and how it leads to variation. For this genetic reproduction lesson students complete a lab activity that calculates different genetic possibilities.

Fifth graders, in groups, create a plant or animal cell out of cookies, frosting, and candy pieces.

Learners recognize that all living things are made up of cell and that they cannot easily be seen by the naked eye. Students become familiar with the use of microscopes as a tool for investigation.

Students create an animation of a cell process and insert it into a presentation. They choose a cellular process such as mitosis, osmosis or DNA replication, and create a simple 2D animation.

Students research the developments of animal and human cloning. They report their findings to the class. They write journal entries as well.

For this animal classification worksheet, students will review the characteristics used in classifying animals including the development of animals. Students will compare the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. This worksheet has 4 short...

Fourth graders read books about endangered animals. Using Kidspiration software, 4th graders create a presentation illustrating the plight of endangered animals. They identify problems, develop a graphic organizer, and explain the origin...

There are some amazing ways species evolve to survive. From large ears to sneezing salt, learners read about these interesting adaptations in an interactive lesson. Great to supplement an in-class lesson, it also works well as a remote...

Are you an XX or an XY? Budding scientists learn about cellular fertilization and the determination of gender in a thorough online lesson. They follow their study with a set of interactive reflection questions.

Believe it or not, biodiversity exists even in areas of disturbed habitat. An interactive activity challenges learners to look for species with a magnifying lens in an image of a city habitat. Pop-up images and descriptions explain how...

Learners explore biology by identifying a diagram. In this cell anatomy lesson, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Learners define a list of...

Students explore and analyze human and animal communications and create a short film that illustrates their findings.

Students explore animal and plant adaptation.  In this ecosystems science lesson, students view websites to gain information about plankton and its  interdependence within ecosystems. Students identify ways in which plankton...

In this plant and animal cells worksheet, students complete a chart, checking features that describe cell parts. Features will describe either plant, animal, or both types of cells.

Young scholars examine how animals create a unique space in which they can live. Students read a poem about animals' habitats discuss the habitats. They draw a space of their own and write a poem that describes their habitat.

After your biologists have learned about transcription, translation, and gene regulation, they work in a small group to create a poster of a system that serves as an analogy of the gene regulation process. They share their creations with...

Wow! Here is a coherent and cleverly designed tool for teaching physical scientists about electric circuits. Animations help learners to visualize what is happening within the parts of a circuit. Components are displayed to teach them...

Students listen to an explanation of yeast cells and how they effect bread and beer. They discuss the ways alcohol affects the human body and participate in an indirect observation about cell respiration in yeast-molasses cultures.
