In this algebra learning exercise, students calculate the point of intersection between a circle and a straight line. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Tenth graders discuss their physical features, and why they look the way they do. They listen as the teacher discusses DNA, alleles, and dominant or recessive genes. Students perform an experiment with different colored markers...

High schoolers draws the child's face and compares "mother's" and "father's" perception of characteristics. One student draws the child's face; partner writes a biography of the child at age 30- what is the child like, what have they...

Students participate in an activity where they flip coins to determine which allele they pass on to the F1 generation and draw the resulting child's face. They identify several inheritance patterns including dominant, recessive,...

In this geometry review worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 33 different problems that include identifying various geometric figures and parts of a circle. First, they find the radius of each circle given its diameter. Then,...

In this genetics worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given thirty six clues about genetic disorders, genetic inheritance and blood types.

In this forensic science worksheet, students analyze the characteristics and uses of DNA to complete 26 short answer questions.

In this sense of place worksheet, students work individually or in groups reading "Finding the Soul of the City" and discussing the questions in each section in order to investigate the communities they live in.

In this circle and their equations worksheet, students read about circles and algebraic equations, look at examples and complete exercises.

Students obtain a DNA sample, observe DNA Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, and obtain reagents and equipment.

Students collect DNA from cheek cells. They compare and contrast the processes of DNA replication and PCR. They discuss how this information can be used to determine guilt at crime scenes.

Students explore the mode of inheritance of chromosomes. Given a scenario, students use the Human Genome sheet to determine inherited chromosomes. They illustrate the difference between genotype and phenotype. Students develop a model...

For this phone button boggle worksheet, students identify the number of math words they can find on a phone keypad according to given directions.  This one-page worksheet contains one problem.  Answers are provided.

Students gain a feeling for the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without using algebra but participating in an interactice game.

The main objective of this activity is to illustrate the variation that results from crossing-over during prophase I of meiosis. Other sources of variation from generation to generation are: (1) independent assortment (223 possible...

Young scholars explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.

High schoolers engage in a lesson that focuses on analytic geometry. The lesson asked them to apply skills of relating equations when plotting them on the coordinate plane. Students construct the equations using specific criteria and...

In this algebra worksheet, 10th graders calculate the distance between two points using inclusive and exclusive values. They graph their results on a number line. An answer is provided.

Learners are introduced to the construction geometrically of parabolas. Using a software program, they identify lines, segments and midpoints. They label the parabolas properties and characteristics and use a formula to determine the...

NOT A LESSON Students

Eighth graders create a database of animals and birds in the area in which they live. They use molded prints to make a cast of an imprint from a specific animal. They identify and research animals and prepare an outline for an oral...

Students slve a case of unclear heredity using three lines of evidence and knowledge gained from the lesson in this biology lesson about Mendelian inheritance. The lesson includes handouts and a question sheet for final, individual...

Young scholars describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.

Sixth graders discover the ways archaeologists examine artifacts and where they are found. After being introduced to new vocabulary, they use artifacts from their own lives and discover what could be told about their life from them. ...
