Students practice identifying the stages and purpose for meiosis. They use a worksheet to construct each phase, label its parts and describe the process occurring in each phase. they divide the process into meiosis I and meiosis II.

Students create their own experiment in which they have yeast cells growing in liquid environments. They examine the relationship between humans and microorganisms. They also practice using the scientific method.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to the process of mitosis. There are 19 biology terms located in the word search.

Young scholars compare and contrast cellular respiration in yeast and plant and animal cells. After discovering the role of yeast in making beer and bread, they describe the short and long term effects of alcohol on the nervous and...

Learners identify the different steps involved in DNA transcription. In this genetics lesson, pupils complete a worksheet and model the translation process with a paper chain activity. They watch a video on sickle cell anemia and explain...

Seventh graders explore science topics using a SMART board. In this respiration lesson, 7th graders see how and why cells use cellular respiration. They see a cellular respiration recipe on the SMART board and watch as the cells produce...

Students create a table in Microsoft Word. In this word processing activity, students create a table in Microsoft Word. They fill this table in as if it were a BINGO card, but they use their vocabulary words instead of numbers.

When you work with school children, teaching about immunity and illness prevention is a priority! This approach includes a discussion, kid-friendly online articles, a creative writing assignment, and a quiz on the role of leukocytes and...

So often, genetics worksheets focus on alleles and heredity. Here is one that focuses on the steps of the gene expression process. After reading a textbook chapter or listening to your lecture, AP biology buffs write short answers to...

Unifying themes in animal anatomy and physiology are displayed slide by slide.  The main concepts involve the differentiation in cells and tissues, and details are given about fuel management, metabolism, and some other essential...

Translate the process of protein synthesis to your molecular biologists with this instructional activity. It consists of reading, completing a table as a summary, comprehension questions, and a modeling activity for both transcription...

Both aerobic and anerobic respiration are introduced in this succinct PowerPoint. The chemical equations for both are included. The last slides give instructions for a lab activity in which pupils use a gas sensor to measure the...

Has your class ever been astounded by the complexity of DNA analysis? Have they ever asked why genetic engineering has become so important to our daily lives? Young scientists perform DNA extraction on strawberries and explore how the...
