Learners conduct Internet research on Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy. They design a puzzle to represent these processes, read and summarize an article, conduct research, and design a theoretical experimental procedure.

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...

Students investigate the different bioluminescent organisms. They use microscopes in order to make observations and draw what is seen. Students demonstrate they have studies the differences between the process of photosynthesis and...

In this matrix reactions worksheet, students fill in the blank about the process of glycolysis. Students also draw an organelle- mitochondrion and label the parts with the given names.

In this digestive system worksheet, learners answer a list of true/ false questions. The students answer questions based on their knowledge of each process of the digestive system.

Pupils create DNA models using colored construction papers. In this biology lesson, students identify enzyme restriction sites. They model how DNA plasmids replicate when taken up by a bacterial cell.

Eighth graders explain how protein is made in the cell. For this biology lesson, 8th graders translate RNA and DNA using an internet database. They determine the thief based on evidence collected.

A lab in which high schoolers examine the difference between arteries and veins. Budding biologists will find out which blood vessel can stretch furthest, recording their data in a table then answering several questions evaluating their...

Jiminy cricket! If you find yourself plagued by fear of dissection, these locust respiratory system dissection directions will walk you through everything you need to know. Teens inspect a living locust to begin with, then jump over to...

Students perform an experiment to determine how different salt concentrations affect the liver's ability to break down toxic hydrogen peroxide. They record and average their data which is then graphed.

Students will observe the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Then they observe the links due to climate changes and relate how climate change affects their lives.

In this tissue worksheet, students are given notes on 6 types of epithelial tissues, 10 examples of connective tissue, three types of muscular tissue and the components of nerve tissue.

This document can be used as a slide show to introduce your human body systems class to the integumentary system, also know as skin. Topics outlined include the roles of skin, details about its its layers, and color (cause and...

Young scholars explore case studies involving human disorders. They identify options and consequences of each decision. Students interview a family member with a disorder. They create a presentation of their interview.

Seventh graders conduct an experiment.  In this bacteria lesson, 7th graders list living and nonliving things and brainstorm the characteristics they share.  Students are divided into two groups where they put samples of hand...

Every moment, the systems in your body are working together to keep you breathing, standing, and thinking. Elementary schoolers explore the human body and its systems with an impressive, 15-page lesson plan that should leave your...

Students  explore the issues and challenges of cloning.  In this cloning lesson plan, students read about how cloning affects people and the types of cloning, then they prepare a debate either for or against cloning.

Young botanists examine the different parts of tress and then draw parallels between the functions of these parts and the function of parts of the human body. 

During an inquiry-based instructional activity, scholars decide which variable to test and then design an experiment to determine the needs of producers. After two weeks, they complete a full analysis and research paper.

Learners interpret data from a three-dimensional array of current monitors to determine an overall pattern of water circulation. They hypothesize what effect an observed water circulation pattern might have on seamount fauna. A very...

Students gain an understanding of how systems and organs in the human body work. They create their own fictional account of a trip through the human body, and describe one response the body makes to stimuli.

Young scholars design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.

Students conduct a scientific investigation about organic or inorganic waste.  In this organic or inorganic waste lesson, students create a compost heap to determine the difference between inorganic and organic waste. Students...
