What is a calorie and how does it work? How many calories do we consume in a typical day, and how many do our cells need to function well? Your learners will answer these questions and more using a worksheet, which includes...

Do the ends justify the means? Getting a drug approved in the US is a long and involved process. But at some point out, it involves testing on humans. The ethics of such testing is the focus of a resource that uses Dr. Albert...

Before digital microscopes, scientists hired artists to draw the things visible in the microscope. Through training in neuroscience and art, Cajal revolutionized the way we view the beautiful brain. The third lesson in a series of four...

In this interactive JeopardyLab game, with the assistance of a teacher, students can play against each other or in teams to review the content of Third Grade Social Studies. Allow the first team to choose a topic and a point value for a...

This resource provides a short experiment for students to explore how clouds are formed.

How do Olympic runners succeed in physically demanding events like the 400-meter dash? Physiology scholars explore the relationship between acids, bases, and the muscular system through a scenario-driven activity. The lesson focuses on...

Young engineers consider how to apply accelerometers and sensors to help prevent falls in elderly people. They consider forces of motion and gravity as part of the engineering design process.

Everything evolved from a common ancestor, but how did modern plants and animals develop so many more genes? Scholars use an online interactive to learn about the process. They begin to understand common genes with an animation, multiple...

Students model and differentiate between the processes of mitosis and meiosis. In partners, they use yarn and construction paper to create models for each of the phases of mitosis and meiosis then compare the chromosome numbers in each...

In this active transport worksheet, students review the cellular process of active transport including the structures and functions of the cell organelles involved. This worksheet has 28 fill in the blank statements.

Seventh graders describe the stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson, 7th graders explain the importance of cell division. They complete an activity packet at the end of the lesson.

Students investigate how to optimize the power output of a photovoltaic cell using a home-made gnomon stand. They use data collected to create current-voltage and power-voltage curves to determine the "maximum PowerPoint," (MPP) at which...

In this nutrient biochemistry worksheet, students complete the blanks with information about nucleic acids and the process. Students also draw a figure referenced in the text given.

In this cell division worksheet, students answer 13 multiple choice questions based on the process of mitosis and meiosis. Included are questions about the stages of cell division as well as the structures involved.

In this meiosis instructional activity, students fill in the blank that describes the process of meiosis. Students also draw the process of meiosis.

Students explain the various activities that are constantly going on in a blood cell by role playing a blood cell, antibody, pathogen, and platelets.

For this biology worksheet, 9th graders label each of the diagrams representing the stages of meiosis. Then they describe how gametes vary from other cells in the body. Students also explain what happens during the process of fertilization.

Students describe and illustrate the process of diffusion in selelctively permeable cell membranes. They are asked to respond to what they think will happen when food coloring is dropped in a bowl of water. Other activities will be...

Students explore anatomy and physiology using various activities. In this biology activity, students reasearch about medical radiation and its applications. They study cell cycle, cell division and other processes that sustain life.

In this biology worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 35 questions on protein synthesis. They identify the different parts of the cell involved in the process.
