Students encounter concept maps for reviewing evolution. Concept maps provides an alternative method of interacting with the information and a forum for asking questions about vocabulary, concepts and interrelationships. A quiz is...

The New York Regents High School Examinations are comprehensive and include various question formats, including multiple choice and graph analysis. This particular version, the 2008 Living Environment exam, surveys a variety of topics....

The 2005 version of the Regents High School Examination in ecology is as comprehensive as previous years' exams. It consists of 40 multiple-choice questions on topics ranging from the structure of DNA to interactions within an ecosystem....

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, is queried in this final examination. Learners examine air pollution maps, cell diagrams, population graphs, and drawings of cells. They...

Young scholars explore the basic process of natural selection and how people can manipulate that process today. The consequences of natural selection on daily life and the implications of evolutionary biology in basic and applied science...

This quiz just looks neat! It has two cell diagrams for biology class members to label. They also describe the function of each organelle. A prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell are displayed for them to compare, and then they fill in the...

Students research about human migration during a specific time period. In this physical science lesson, students watch a video about human evolution. They prepare a presentation on human migration and share it with the class.

Chromosomes contain keys to history including links from royalty to Neanderthals. Young scientists learn about Ivan Wallin's research into chromosomes with an animation and videos. Then, the concept connects to mysteries related to...

Diagrams with annotations are shown on each of these eighteen slides, which summarize the processes of respiration. The focus is on the 3-step oxidation process and the Krebs cycle.  Students should be able to follow these slides...

Students study chloroplasts, their structure and evolution.  For this photosynthesis lesson students experiment with polarized light and the production of chlorophyll.

All aspects of the photosynthesis process, and the way that plants have adapted with specializations are detailed here.  The diagrams and info-graphics will be useful to your AP biology class. It could also be used as a review...

For as small as they are, there sure is a lot of information for young scientists to learn about bacteria. Help simplify the subject with this instructional presentation that explores the structure, nutrition, and reproduction of...

DNA of the mitochondria has most commonly been used to construct evolutionary trees. New field of population genetics hopes to resolve important questions in migration theories that involve Aboriginies in Australia, North America, and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn about the evolution of eukaryotes which is explained by the endosymbiotic theory.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Take a close look at the endosymbiotic theory scientists have developed to explain the evolution of eukaryotes. Understand that chloroplast and mitochondria used to...

Learn about the endosymbiotic theory. This theory explains the evolution of cells from a mitochondria and chloroplast working together in a symbiotic relationship to the current cell structure.

The aim of this article is to relate the history of oxygen in the atmosphere to the evolution of photosynthesis, aerobic respiration, mitochondria, and life on earth.

Through full-color images and descriptive information, learn about the evolution of the eukaryotic organisms which eventually led to the presence of protists.
