Curated OER
Protein Exploration
Twelfth graders examine protein shapes through a computer program that can be downloaded off the Internet. The program allows students to see how proteins look when viewed with X-ray crystallography.
Curated OER
Using Adjectives to Describe Observations
Seventh graders write observations of organisms based on both audio and video sources. They describe organisms which they view using appropriate adjectives.
