Seventh graders investigate the structure and function of body systems and their inter-relationships. They draw and label the major body systems, observe demonstrations of various body systems, define key vocabulary terms, and compare...
Curated OER
The Life Of Bees
Students explore the matriarchal structure of a bee colony. They participate in various activities to identify the structure of a bee colony and the roles of each type of bee plays in the colony. Vocabulary and a worksheet with answer...
Curated OER
DNA and Genes
Students analyze the structure of DNA. They describe how the structure of DNA enables it to reproduce itself accurately. Students discuss genes and the sequence of nucleotides occur in DNA.
Curated OER
Neuron Anatomy Comparison
Students create a scale model of a motor neuron that is two hundred times larger than the actual neuron. They identify the structures of a neuron and observe neurons under the microscope then use a worksheet to convert actual sizes into...
Curated OER
Create a microbe
Students explore viruses and bacteria. They construct three dimensional models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships by comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial cells.
Curated OER
Endocrine System Study Question Worksheet
In this endocrine system worksheet, students define 8 words associated with this human system. They answer 11 short answer questions about the structure and function of the organs and hormones that make up the endocrine system.
Curated OER
Candy DNA Model Lesson
Young scholars explore DNA structure using materials such as Twizzlers, small colored gumdrops and/or toothpicks.
Curated OER
Hierarchical Organization in Biology: Students Presentations of Neurobiology
Students gather (research) information on neuron structure and action potential. Students are guided to make inferences about the synapse and its relationship to neurotransmitter release and action. They are also guided to make...
Curated OER
Bones
In this bones worksheet, students list and describe the functions of bones and give examples for each. Then they compare and contrast the microscopic structure of compact and spongy bone. Students also list the types of fractures and the...
