Welcome to Biology! Introduce pupils to a subject conceptualized by Aristotle in 300 BC through a presentation and worksheet. It covers the themes of biology, characteristics of life, the scientific method, microscopes, and measurements.

The climate at the equator is hotter than the climate at the poles, but why? The lesson goes in depth, explaining how the angles of illumination relate to the heating rate at different latitudes and seasons. Scholars use a strong lamp,...

Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there! A growing concern for environmental scientists is toxic nanoparticles in our air and water. Young scholars conduct an experiment to demonstrate how these particles can cross our...

As a way to combine life and physical science, or simply as an investigation of plant transpiration, this activity is sure to inspire! Middle schoolers capture the moisture given off by plants that are placed in different conditions....

How does one organism get its energy? What is the main source of energy in an ecosystem? How does the flow of energy affect different types of ecosystems? Answer these questions with a fill-in-the-blank instructional...

Bacteria outnumber all other forms of life on Earth. Scholars observe the growth of bacteria in petri dishes to understand their role in maintaining good health. Then, they observe the growth of bacteria after they introduce...

At the end of a general physics course focused on light and electricity, you can administer this exam. Concepts covered include electromagnetism, circuits, induction, light rays, lenses and mirrors, characteristics of light, electron...

For this arthropod life cycle worksheet, students will use a diagram showing the 4 stages of butterfly metamorphosis to complete a table describing each of the stages.

If the only support you are in search of is lists of vocabulary terms, this presentation may fit the bill. Slides simply list terminology. These categories are included: hierarchy of structural organization, cell functions, cell...

Students research solar energy. For this solar energy lesson, students construct a KWL chart and research solar energy through various websites and related readings. Students complete a science journal page as an assessment.

Seventh graders explain the mechanism of digestion. In this biology lesson, 7th graders perform an iodine test to check for the presence of starch. They discuss how energy travels through the food chain.

Tenth graders study how cells and organisms acquire and release energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They explain that living organisms use matter and energy to synthesize a variety of organic molecules and they will...

In this cells worksheet, learners review cell organelles and their functions plus the different processes that take place within cells. This worksheet has 9 matching and 5 true or false questions.

In this cell structure worksheet, students review the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. Students also compare and contrast an animal cell with a plant cell. This worksheet has 15 fill in the blank, 8 true or false, and 7...

For this cells worksheet, students will review vocabulary words and information relating to the structure and function of plant and animal cells. This worksheet has 10 crossword puzzle questions, 6 multiple choice, 4 short answer...

In this cellular energy worksheet, learners review the stages of cellular respiration and contrast fermentation with cellular respiration. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 6 short answer questions.

Students distinguish between items with and without energy. In this energy instructional activity, students understand that natural resources power electrical apparatus and that energy needs to be saved.

Students investigate the characteristics of living things. In this life science lesson, students examine several living and non-living specimens. Students determine which things are living and non-living.

In this labeling a cross-section of a Bacterium cell instructional activity, students use the glossary of Bacterium cell terms to help identify and label each cell part. Students label nine parts of the Bacterium cell.

In this cell energy worksheet, students review how ATP is formed and broken down and the uses of cell energy. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank and 2 short answer questions.

Students create analogies that help them remember the cell parts as well as their respective functions.

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...

Explore ethanol and how it is produced. Young scientists investigate photosynthesis and fermentation to the concept of conservation of energy and mass. They discuss the environmental and economical benefits of ethanol as a fuel additive.

A somewhat amusing assignment, this instructional activity lists statements that an ancient organism may have made and asks learners to determine what geologic era that each may have lived in. It uses witty word puzzles and...
