Part of a materials science engineering course, a project through which students investigate the future of solar electricity by creating prototypes of solar cells. Students complete exercises in "project planning, analysis, design,...

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text about solar panels being used to create electricity. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

This lab exercise exposes students to a potentially new alternative energy source-hydrogen gas. Student teams are given a hydrogen generator and an oxygen generator. They balance the chemical equation for the combustion of hydrogen gas...

A great page for all around biochemistry and background. This version of the Bristol University site requires the CHIME plug-in to view the 3-D molecule. It is worth the time to download CHIME if you visit a lot of biochemistry or...

Review concepts covered in high school biology dealing with cellular respiration. Page includes vocabulary as well as charts to explain the process.

This lesson introduces the process of active transport, explaining that it is a form of transport that requires energy, and moves molecules against their concentration gradient. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Active Transport."
