Pupils identify the structures that actually assort independently. They are taught how gene maps are produced. Students compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis. They are shown their (mitosis and meiosis) significane to sexual and...

In this reproduction activity, students review the processes involved with sexual reproduction in animals and pollination in plants. This activity has 6 fill in the blank, 5 true or false, and 9 short answer questions.

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...

Learners identify photosynthesis as the mechanism by which plants convert sunlight energy into a usable energy source for plant processes. They identify photosynthesis as the mechanism by which plants create a molecule that can be used...

Students create a table and use word processing functions to design a maze. They use the table feature of Microsoft Word to construct a solvable maze and incorporate clip art and Word Art into their mazes. They use Word Art to add a...

In this blood worksheet, students review what makes up blood: plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells. Students also learn how the blood helps fight viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances. This worksheet has 10 fill in...

In this anatomy and physiology study question worksheet, young scholars define 20 terms related to the immune system. They answer 19 short answer questions that deal with immunology, autoimmune diseases, and the components and cells...

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

Students compare the process of protein synthesis in an analogy. They simulate the process of protein synthesis kinesthetically using index cards and write a paragraph to explain the process.

Students study karyotyping, which is a process in which chromosomes are cut out from an enlarged picture and arranged in decreasing order of size. They use a template to arrange and glue chromosomes to data sheet, indicate sample code,...

In this nervous tissue worksheet, students list and describe the functions of the nervous system and its two principle parts. Then they list and give the function and location of the six types of glial cells. Students also describe two...

Student explore cancer, its causes, and various types. Learners research compare/contrast a health cell to a cancer cell. They compare treatments available for childhood cancers.

Students investigate how water passes through cell membranes. In this biology lesson, students differentiate osmosis and diffusion. They illustrate the movement of water in both processes.

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...

Fifth graders are introduced to the classification system used in Science. In groups, they explain the characteristics of each of the five kingdoms. After watching a video, they review the life processes of each kingdom and complete a...

Learners investigate the similarities and differences of living things. Specifically, students will be able to identify the life processes of photosynthesis and describe the basic needs of plants.

Students identify the female pelvic organs, understand the changes that occur during puberty, and learn what specific organs are involved in these changes. In this biology lesson plan, students learn the path of the human egg cell during...

Middle schoolers investigate and then build neurons in this lesson. They are examined as key parts of the brain and nervous system and seen as different from normal cells.

Learners investigate cloning using E coli cultures. Through laboratory exercise, they determine if E coli cells contain b - galactosidase.

Students explore diffusion and active transport. They observe the effects of eggs in vinegar and predict what will happen when eggs are placed in corn syrup with food coloring. Students complete worksheets which lead them to describe...

In this catalase worksheet, students read about how enzymes work in cells. Then students conduct an experiment to test for catalase activity in potatoes. This worksheet has 1 graph and 6 short answer questions.

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.

In this body systems instructional activity, students read information about the processes involved in the respiratory and urinary systems. Students then answer 1 short answer and 2 multiple choice questions.

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.
