Students are actively involved in presenting some of the issues in implanting previously frozen embryos through a cooperative learning activity. This activity helps students to develop decision-making skills through discussing various...

In this cell cycle worksheet, students review how enzymes control the cell cycle and what happens when the cell cycle becomes uncontrolled. This worksheet has 7 short answer questions.

Students investigate common fishing methods used to capture sharks. They decide why these methods and the shark's reproductive biology are contributing to the quick reduction in the shark population.

Students compare three sets of unlabeled human chromosomes and gather related data, trace chromosomes to pair them, and make observations about them.

In this circulatory system worksheet, students read a paragraph about the function of the different organs that make up the circulatory system. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

Students read all about dinosaurs. In this biology lesson plan, students  examine how to use library research as integral part of scientific research.

Students analyze different regions of the brain which are responsible for different aspects of cognition, awareness and regulating the body's process.

Students examine the early development of zebrafish as a model for embryo development in humans. They observe various stages of zebrafish reproduction from sperm and eggs to fertilized eggs and hatchlings.

Ninth graders use online tutorials, class discussion, presentations and scientific articles to explore types of cells along with cell structure, function and behavior. They explore ethical questions related to cells and disease.

Middle schoolers investigate methods of pollination for various flowers. In this plant biology lesson plan, students learn the parts of a flower and form a hypothesis about the method of pollination for the flower. They determine...

Students study the binomial system of naming organisms. They are given a name of an organism and they must draw a picture of what they think the organism looks like. Then they research the organism, find what it really looks like, and...

Students explore the concept of the binomial system of nomenclature for classifying organisms. Students travel on a field trip to observe organisms displayed and their common names. Students complete several classroom activities and...

Students use a microscope in a series of activities that are designed to help them explore the "invisible world" and make meaningful microscopic discoveries and learn the importance of the microscope as a tool in science and research.

Students understand what physical adaptations are and how they help an animal to survive. In this adaptations lesson, students research four animals and then make an original animal that has adaptations to make them survive.

Eighth graders review concepts in cellular biology. In this biology lesson plan, 8th graders play an interactive game based on the idea of winning money. They discuss misconceptions about the topic.

Students examine the functions of mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. They explain the steps in the protein synthesis process. They practice using new vocabulary as well.

Students examine amino acids and discuss the properties of side chains.  In this proteins lesson students demonstrate the foldings of peptides.

High schoolers examine the relationship between cell surface area and the ability of materials to diffuse through a cell. They participate in an experiment in which they determine which materials diffuse easier than others. They...

In this biology worksheet, students look for the words that are part of the word search puzzle that is focused around the theme of the sheet embryology.

Middle schoolers explain the function of DNA in the body. In this biology lesson plan, students build a DNA model using simple materials. They demonstrate how bases pair up in the helix.

In this evidence of evolution worksheet, students review notes given by referring to the Nelson Biology text, chapter 11/13. Students read the notes and the specified pages in the text.

Students examine the importance of proteins including their function and structure.  In this protein lesson plan students play a game to help them better understand proteins.
