Students observe the effects of pollution on living organisms. In this pollution lesson plan, students observe fresh water Hydra and look at their structures and movement. They place samples of pond and lake water on the Hydra and...

Students investigate the tough economic times by discussing supply and demand.  In this economics lesson, students read a news article and identify specific examples of the oil crisis that has touched their lives.  Students...

High schoolers discuss the importance of plankton in the ocean ecosystem. In this biology lesson, students identify the different types plankton by observing them under the microscope. They explain how plankton population affect global...

In this motion worksheet, students will use a word bank to fill in the definition of Newton's three laws of motion. Then students will complete 4 short answer questions giving examples of Newton's three laws of motion.

Article explores the light-dependent reactions as they take place during photosynthesis in plants. Traces how light energy is used to make ATP and NADPH and explains photosystems and electron transport chains.

What is light energy? Here we'll learn about the properties of light and how pigments such as chlorophylls absorb light energy.

Read the passage and study the diagram to answer the five-question quiz that follows.

Explains the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants. Discusses light-dependent and light-independent reactions in photosynthesis, and glycolysis and aerobic respiration in cellular respiration. The differences...

Read about photosynthesis, what light and dark reactions are, the structure of a leaf, the conditions needed for photosynthesis to occur, where and how photosynthesis takes place, and how root structure impacts on photosynthesis.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What is photosynthesis? Students will review the process of photosynthesis, the light reaction, and the dark reaction (Calvin Cycle). Common misconceptions will be...

Discussion of the conversion of light energy to chemical energy through the life-sustaining process of photosynthesis. Explores the reactions of photosynthesis, where they take place, and their ecological importance.

Background information on the history of photosynthesis. An explanation for how light is used to assist in making food for plants as the transfer of electrons allows energy to flow through the system.

This extremely detailed article begins with a basic introduction of photosynthetic processes and expands to more complex applications and related scientific ideas.
