Students explore several parts of the body system in the eight lessons of this unit. Through several hands-on activities, the skeletal, muscular, digestive, circulatory and nervous systems are observed.

Students of all ages can explore the question "how do seeds grow?", design an experiment to answer the question, predict the outcome of the experiment then conduct the experiment.

Students explore genetics. They discuss how chromosomes and/or genes are regulated during the life of an organism. In a lab setting, students compare and contrast the genomic regulation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells using...

In this cellular transport activity, students review the process of osmosis and compare passive transport and active transport. This activity has 12 matching questions.

Students examine and research how cells make up our organs. They create a model of a tongue showing cells, tissues and the organ.

Students explore the control of expression of DNA into proteins which is divided into two main categories: transcriptional and post-transcriptional. They construct examples of the control mechanisms and discuss disease processes that...

Students examine the process in which plants and animals are cloned. They compare and contrast the two procedures and determine if there is a difference. They share their views on cloning to the class.

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 science of biology worksheet, students will review the concepts relating to biology including the characteristics of living things, the process of reproduction, adaptations, and evolution. This worksheet has 5 short answer, 3...

Students, through exercises and discussions, examine ethics involved in the process of choosing and using laboratory animals, respect for the animal they dissect and how to behave in an ethical manner as they dissect various lab specimens.

The National Energy Foundation presents this activity, which instructs students to follow directions to connect a solar electric panel to a buzzer. They charge the solar panel to cause the buzzer to sound. The process is repeated with a...

In this digestion worksheet, learners review the organs involved in the digestive process along with the function of these organs. This worksheet has 5 fill in the blank, 8 short answer, and 7 matching questions.

In this DNA worksheet students will label the 6 parts that make up DNA and review the process of replication of DNA. This worksheet has 6 matching and 5 fill in the blank questions.

Students complete activities to study decomposition. In this decomposition instructional activity, students work in pairs to observe a decay buffet experiment. Students keep compost bag journals. Students define and discuss the process...

Fourth graders engage in this interactive lesson which illustrates diffusion and osmosis and shows them that molecules of life move dynamically and powerfully. They must analyze their lab orally and in writing.

In this fungus non-fiction reading comprehension instructional activity, students read a 3 page selection that describes the characteristics and life of fungi. They answer 10 questions based on the reading which include true or false,...

In this development worksheet, high schoolers review the process of fertilization in placental organisms. Students determine what trimester certain events take place in a fetus' development. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank and 7...

Students study the livers parts and functions then follow a lab experiment to watch first hand how the gut uses bile to physically break down fatty substances into smaller pieces.

Learners complete a variety of activities to study different concepts in Science. The activities are part of a layered curriculum. This is used to differentiate instruction and give a wide variety of assessment opportunities.

In this DNA worksheet, students access a website to learn about how single-celled organisms function successfully. Then students pretend they are a bacterium and determine how to transport lactose across their cell membrane for food....

In this cellular respiration and photosynthesis instructional activity, students read through the presented material and draw an illustration of the production of ATP. Students answer several short answer questions about the production...

A hands-on activity which allows students to learn about cellular respiration. This lesson contains a range of investigations testing the rates of cellular respiration to demonstrate the relationship between metabolic rates of...

Students explore the process of fermentation through the process of making Sauerkraut. Students use their observational skills and their five senses to create an articulate description of their lab created sauerkraut. They discuss the...

Seventh graders research an assigned poet's life and times and read examples of their poetry. They prepare a word-processed paper analyzing the poems by their poet, and answering the essential question then they give an oral...
