Students model and differentiate between the processes of mitosis and meiosis. In partners, they use yarn and construction paper to create models for each of the phases of mitosis and meiosis then compare the chromosome numbers in each...

Learners differentiate the characteristics of living and nonliving things. For this life science lesson, students compare and contrast robots and living things. Given an object, they decide whether it's is living or not and defend...

Students investigate the chemistry of coal. This lesson serves as a review of conservation of mass, simple reactions and equation balancing. During the lesson, students research chemical components of coal, as well as environmental...

Ten reactions involved with the process of glycolysis within cellular respiration are summarized here. The aerobic stages and anaerobic interactions leading to fermentation are detailed and wonderful diagrams to support the information...

A fantastic presentation with great images should improve student understanding of lipids and their involvement in the body.  The chemistry of different fats, phospholipids, and steroids are explained. Additionally, the specific...

This presentation begins with the many problems multicellular organisms which rely on diffusion encounter. There are many diagrams of mammalian organ structures, and they are labelled with their relevant functions. This an excellent...

Students conduct experiments with plants.  For this photosynthesis lesson, students examine plants under different types of lights.  They calculate the amount of dissolved ocygen concentration and compare it to the formula for...

Fifth graders test plants in the dark and in the light to see which grows better and produces more carbon dioxide. In this plants lesson plan, 5th graders also create ways for plants to go through photosynthesis that they can observe.

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...

A fantastic presentation with great images should improve student understanding of lipids and their involvement in the body.  The chemistry of different fats, phospholipids, and steroids are explained. Additionally, the specific...

The many images and labeled diagrams in this PowerPoint will help learners understand different areas of the endocrine system. The slide show starts with information about the absorption of lipid and protein based hormones, and then...

Starting with a diagram of the kidneys and urinary tract of the human, this sheet has questions about excretion, blood concentrations of hormones, gland feedback mechanisms and the effects of some hormones.

Almost a duplicate of another slideshow on our site, these slides covering classes of hormones and their function, have gaps prepared for your pupils to fill in. This copy could be printed out for your class to complete as notes during...

Students diagram a plant. In this Science lesson plan, students explore the concept of photosynthesis focusing on the oxygen production. Students calculate the amount of plants needed to filter the air in their classroom.

Fourth graders experiment with compost. In this Science lesson, 4th graders begin a worm compost as well as an outdoor compost. Students discuss decomposition.

Students investigate how to optimize the power output of a photovoltaic cell using a home-made gnomon stand. They use data collected to create current-voltage and power-voltage curves to determine the "maximum PowerPoint," (MPP) at which...

Students conclude that magnets and magnetic fields can produce electricity. Students also understand how a small motor works and how gears work. Students describe how energy can transform along a pathway.

Students examine electricity.  In this circuits lesson students complete an activity that shows them the configuration of circuits. 

In this photosynthesis worksheet, learners identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to the process of photosynthesis. There are 18 biology terms located in the word search.

Students study facts about cancer. In this cancer instructional activity, students read about cancer, cancer cells, cancer treatment, and research. They answer true or false questions on a worksheet before reading about cancer prevention.

Students study the livers parts and functions then follow a lab experiment to watch first hand how the gut uses bile to physically break down fatty substances into smaller pieces.

In this electrochemistry worksheet, students determine the half reaction and the standard cell potential. Students identify the species that is the strongest oxidizing agent. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

In this proteins worksheet, students read about the chemical compound, protein. Students determine where proteins are found in the body and how enzymes help the body react. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

In this respiration instructional activity, students complete a crossword puzzle by figuring out the vocabulary words associated with the 16 clues given.
