In this word search activity, students locate words related to biology. The word list includes protists, viruses, plants, spiral, and biotechnology.

Learners work in small groups collecting and analyzing data as they learn how to best grow yeast. This instructional activity allows students to conduct several student-created experiments as they continually generate questions and...

Students use research to see how eight pairs of triplets are equivalent to part of a gene and control a part of heredity. They also understand how red blood corpuscles manufacture normal hemoglobin.

In this endocrine system worksheet, students compare and contrast the glands associated with this body system plus review the four major classes of hormones. This worksheet has 25 fill in the blank statements.

In this bacteria worksheet, students read several elements of bacterium cells, their diet, types, locations, reproduction, resting stages, effects of, and classification. Students also study a cross-section of bacterium cells.

Students identify the different kinds of blood. In this biology lesson, students investigate the antigens, agglutinins and Rh factor using their own blood. They use Punnett squares to predict blood type of offspring.

Junior biologists compare the amino acid sequences from fragments of five different globin molecules. They count the letter differences between each species pair. They construct a graphic representation of the evolutionary relationships...

Fourth graders study sickle-cell anemia.

In this biology worksheet, students use an interactive worksheet with 9 questions that ask them to review many parts of the concepts.

How does DNA perform those all-important functions of replication and protein synthesis? This interactive feature, from the Web site developed for the PBS series "A Science Odyssey," will help you explore and understand the secrets of DNA.

In this lesson, students learn how DNA fits into chromosomes, how chromosomes relate to the human body, DNA replication, and protein synthesis.

In this online mini-course learners distinguish between the structure, functions, and processes involved with DNA and RNA.

Watch short animations, read informational text, and make hypotheses about different aspects of protein synthesis.

Investigate how the genetic code on a DNA strands controls what protein is produced with this collection of animations and 3D models. Explore an interactive 3D model of the double helix, watch an animation of transcription, and see the...

This Access Excellence diagram of protein synthesis shows both transcription and translation and includes a short description of each.

Discuss the meaning of DNA and Protein synthesis.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The DNA sequence contains the instructions to place units called amino acids into a specific order. When these amino acid are assembled in that specific order,...

A website giving information on protein synthesis and the key players, RNA. Learn about the three types of RNA and how they work together to make proteins with instructions from DNA.

This is a well structured presentation with lots of graphics on how proteins are formed from DNA and RNA.

Investigate gene expression with this collection of resources that explains how DNA is expressed to make RNA, how genes are turned "on" and "off", and what must occur for transcription to happen. The webpage explores gene expression by...

A good Access Excellence site with an introduction to the processes of transcription and translation, leading to a student modeling activity.

A activity and comprehensive notes discussing how DNA controls protein synthesis by means of a base code.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The process of transcription is defined and discussed in protein synthesis. Students will learn about mRNA processing and know the significance of polyadenylation.

An online slideshow and animation describing the process of protein synthesis.
