Learners create a model of DNA and simulate replication with their models in an activity that uses licorice, colored marshmallows, and toothpicks. Students also label a diagram of replication and indicate major parts of the DNA molecule.

How is an animal formed? Scientists use a diagram to examine early post-fertilization stages, and the creation of the blastula. They look at a second diagram to observe the transition from the blastula to a gastrula. Three comprehension...

A multiple-choice quiz about the transport of substances between cells, this would work well as a pretest and/or post-test. It refers to chapter seven of an unnamed textbook, but it is a Word document, so it can easily be edited.

After giving some of the basic characteristics of the DNA molecule, the slides provide process information and many detailed diagrams about plasmids, vectors, and their application in cloning genes.

Use this great overview to give information on all aspects of nutrition. By working their way through this PowerPoint, students review a lot of information about the digestive process.  Students read many facts on a number of...

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...

Promote reading comprehension and practice naming parts of the human skeleton with this online interactive worksheet! Scholars read about the functions of the human skeletal system, then work online to label a diagram by filling in 18...

It is only six short slides, but an acceptable outline of the integumentary system. General facts about the system, layers, sublayers, and functions are listed as bullet-points. What would make this presentation more engaging for your...

A nice set of information that will help your students understand the process of using recombinant plasmids. DNA hybridization and blotting mechanisms help illustrate expressed genes and the concepts behind the Human Genome Library....

The title is a little deceiving since only one of 17 slides is dedicated to the function of leaves, while the rest is dedicated to the structure. Both internal and external structure is taught with accompanying diagrams. If you are going...

Examine the growth regions and tissues in plants.  The structures and specialized areas of roots, stems, and shoots are defined and supported with diagrams and pictures. Your class will also learn the details of specific growth...

Students define aerobic and anaerobic respiration. They compare and contrast the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Students identify organisms that use the processes of aerobic and anaerobic to synthesize energy from food.

In this metabolism test review, students define several terms. Students write balanced chemical equations for aerobic cellular respiration. Students complete several multiple choice questions.

What an eccentric way to learn about each level of cellular organization! Allow emerging biologists to utilize white paper and create their own foldable charts to describe each level of organization in the body. You may also adapt the...

How important is the tip of a new shoot on a growing plant? Individuals learn about the results of experiments on shoot tips and must interpret them. They apply previous learning and connect complex ideas through advanced analysis.

Are you nervous about teaching the nervous system to your beginning biologists? Worry no more! This PowerPoint provides a note-taking guide and diagrams of the neuron and the brain. Viewers will walk away with a clear...

Mr. Bergman has been murdered and we need you to solve the crime! The cross-curricular unit covers 11 different types of forensic science and includes 17 activities. Scholars perform blood type analysis, blood spatter analysis,...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders investigate and solve various logic problems including the constructions and use of two way tables and Venn diagrams to assist in problem solving.  The eleven page worksheet contains nine...

Students identify the types of cells that are important in the immune system. They investigate the different mechanisms used by white blood cells as they protect the body from foreign invaders. Students are given five case studies,...

For this viruses worksheet, students will read the 5 steps of the lytic cycle and then label those steps on a diagram starting with the virus attaching to a cell and ending with the cell opening and releasing the replicated viruses.

Ninth graders use this activity to simulate the sequencing of gene and to detect the presence of possible genetic defects. They use diagrams that represent bands of nucleotides in order to determine the sequence of a small piece of the...

Students construct and manipulate models of mitosis and meiosis and compare/contrast them. They create the models using index cards and yarn, interpret diagrams and photographs, and summarize written descriptions.

Learners measure the rate of diffusion and to calculate the surface area to volume ratios of varying cell sizes. The lesson is very clearly organized with a useful student worksheet provided. They perform a lab experiment which is...

Students design and construct a battery (electrochemical cell). They works in a team to design and construct a working battery and is responsible for a labeled diagram of its operation. This engaging lesson stimulate their creative juices!
