Students explore the concept that different waterways support different organisms. After completing experiments, students predict what life-forms exist in each waterway in their area. They research how humans impact the habitat of other...

In this science and serendipity instructional activity, students read about how Fleming discovered Penicillin by accident when observing bacteria that didn't grow where mold existed. Students answer questions about scientific discoveries.

Students examine the importance of aseptic technique, become familiar with media plates, and general microbiology techniques. They study the benefits and dangers of bacteria and other microorganisms in their lives.

High schoolers are explained that thermophiles are organisms that have optimal growth temperatures above 50oC. They investigate the temperature ranges for the growth of common bacteria. Students answer the question of do either of these...

Pupils discuss the antibiotic resistance of bacteria. They design an experiment to test the resistance of different strands of E. coli. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.

The metaphors used here to describe the "cut and paste" procedures for genetic engineering will really help your biologists in their understanding of restriction enzymes and DNA.  The uses of genes that are isolated and incorporated...

The concepts here cover the gamut of biotechnological engineering. Information is given about plasmids and genetic manipulation. After reviewing genetic engineering, this slide show would be useful to recap some of the main procedures.
