New species of Bacteria are still being discovered.  These Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are described, and examples of the main sub-groups are included along with some diagrams about reproduction, nutrition, and effects.

The cellular and genetic organization of Prokaryotes, and the main characteristics of their movement and structure are summarized in this presentation.  They are compared to Eukaryotes and that information will help your students...

Carolus Linnaeus designed the binomial nomenclature system of naming organisms that is still in use more than 200 years later. By viewing this PowerPoint, upcoming biologists learn how to use it. They are also introduced to the hierarchy...

In this tissue worksheet, high schoolers 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.

They're everywhere! They're everywhere! Prokaryotes cover the Earth! Biology buffs survey the microscopic world of bacteria, including their general structure, metabolism, commercial uses, and diseases caused by pathogenic varieties....

The general characteristics that affect classification of fungi and other organisms in the domain Eukarya are detailed for the students on 12 attractive slides.  Teachers can access individual slides to cover life cycles or...

Build up your gut. Groups up to four play a card game to learn more about the microbiome in the gut. Learners try to build a healthy gut with their cards. The player acquiring six microbes without any pathogens wins the game. 

Ginkgo trees existed for more than 350 million years, and, at this time, only one species still remains. While plant diversity generally increases over geologic time, some interesting exceptions occur. Young scientists learn about plant...

Lovely pictures help to summarize the different characteristics of fungi in this PowerPoint which covers structure, function and the way that fungi get nutrients.  Symbiotic relationships are examined, and some commercial uses are...

The general characteristics that affect the classification of fungi and other organisms in the domain Eukarya are detailed on 12 attractive slides. Teachers can access individual slides to cover life cycles or diversity, or can use the...

Now you have a new excuse not to do your homework. A long-term experiment has learners explore cellulose-digesting enzymes. They simulate how paper breaks down in a compost bin. There's no need to blame your dog for eating your homework...

A three-page quiz assessing budding biologists' understanding of classification. Middle-level learners may need a little additional time on this, but should be able to handle the concepts with ease.

A series of questions about archaebacteria and eubacteria reinforce a chapter on viruses and bacteria. This worksheet is from chapter 18 of an unspecified textbook, but could work with your biology lecture as well. High schoolers...

Even though they were written for upper-level high schoolers or college pupils, the labs herein are possible to use even in middle school. In the activity, kids observe osmosis in both potatoes and elodea plants, then record and graph...

In this biology worksheet, students are shown how to prepare a smear and then answer some review questions that address the proper preparation of a sample.

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

Biologists extract the DNA from a strawberry. After completing the procedure, learners write answers to a few questions on the lab sheet provided. This is ideal lab practice during a DNA unit in your general biology course. 

Like good scientists, kids often want to see first-hand why things are as they are; they can do just that in the starch-testing photosynthesis activity found here. Depending on the age of your pupils, you may wish to do the investigation...

In this mighty microbes instructional activity, students read for comprehension assessment. In this fill-in-the-blank and true and false instructional activity, students answer ten questions.

In this biology instructional activity, students complete 28 short answer questions on fungi. They color and label the different parts of a hyphae.

For this science worksheet, students use the diatoms present in water in order to test water quality and perform data collection and interpretation.

Apply food selection and preparation guidelines related to quick breads, rice, grains, and pasta. National Standard 14.3.3 Identify basic cooking techniques related rice, grains, and pasta Identify examples of quick breads: muffins,...

Young scholars observe the production of gas as an effect of photosynthesis. In this biology lesson, students perform an experiment with pondweed and make measurements and predictions about photosynthesis and the plant.
