In this anatomy worksheet, students complete 22 review questions in the format of short answer, table completion, and fill in the blank after finishing an online virtual experiment about the chemical and physical processes of digestion.

Football, basketball, softball. What do these sports have in common? Athletes. Young scholars learn about and discuss the food pyramind, especially grains, with the thought that they will be planning a pre-competition meal and snack for...

Why do athletes load up on carbohydrates the evening before a competition? The instructional activity helps answer this question as it relates the type of food to the amount of energy it contains. After a discussion, scholars...

Why do medical examiners always state the contents of a person's stomach? Scholars learn about the importance of macromolecules through a case study of stomach contents. They perform multiple tests to determine a conclusion before they...

Some say cooking is an art—and a science! Scholars scope out the savory subject of molecular gastronomy with a series of related activities. The teacher's guide contains printable worksheets and helpful tips for implementing the lesson.

Students work in small groups to determine the amount of protein contained in an unknown sample. They conduct the experiment, plot the points of absorbency, and present their findings to the class.

Twelfth graders create simulations of a reality-based TV show that investigates the near death of a contestant from a seafood meal. They examine the physical symptoms of anaphylactic shock, and create protein fingerprints.

Young scholars examine the nature of venom. They conduct an experiment to demonstrate how proteins such as venoms can be denatured using raw eggs, beakers, heated water, and compresses.

Students design a visualization to illustrate the role of the protein kinesin in exocytosis of a secretory material in a directed manner.

Meat as a food source to provide necessary complete protein, iron, and other nutrients in the diet. Identify and prepare meats and/or poultry product(s). National Standard 14.3.3

Students demonstrate a working knowledge of cell interactions such as DNA replication, protein synthesis (transcription and translation), through active participation in a cooperative group.

Explain the coagulation and coalescence processes associated with milk protein and cheese. List the components of milk and explain how each component is dispersed in the milk. Describe what happens when milk protein is coagulated Discuss...

Explain the coagulation and coalescence processes associated with milk protein and cheese. List the components of milk and explain how each component is dispersed in the milk. Describe what happens when milk protein is coagulated Discuss...

Tenth graders work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to create...

Students use analogies to show the relationships among cell, nucleus, genes, chromosome, ribosome, replication, mitosis, transcription, translation, DNA, RNA, amino acids and proteins, genotype, phenotype, and genetics vs. environmental...

Students examine the principles of electrophoresis. They evaluate both the agarose and polyacrylamide system of molecular separation. In order to bring the concepts of genetics and evolution full circle from DNA to protein, students...

Young scholars examine a method biologists use to try to determine relationships. They examine how amino acid sequences have been determined for a number of proteins, and how scientists can make inferences about DNA based on the amino...

Students explore amyloid proteins through a series of experiments. In this biology lesson plan, students explain the causes of Alzheimer's disease. They identify common symptoms related to this condition.

Students create and observe coacervates. In this origin of life lesson, students create coacervates by mixing carbohydrate and protein solutions. They observe the life-like qualities of the structures and discuss the origin of life.

Learners work on this paper lab in cooperative groups of four and manipulate nucleotides to discover the structure of DNA. When they have finished the lab, students have created model of DNA that can be hung on the ceiling. Learners...

In this transcription worksheet, students color in a drawing of a DNA molecule that is going through the process of transcription.

Manage your calorie intake with a daily food plan journal. After reviewing a reference sheet with suggested amounts of each food group based on a total calorie pattern, learners can jot down what foods they have eaten during the day as...

What could be more real life than a biology course? Mt. Hood Community College offers a complete biology textbook with an emphasis on genetics. Topics range from DNA replication to biotechnology and inheritance patterns.

HIV mutates rapidly, making treatments challenging to find. Scholars learn about why it mutates so quickly and how scientists race to find treatments. The resource approaches the issue from both a molecular and evolutionary perspective...
