Here is a detailed presentation to assist in your lectures on the difficult topic of genetic transcription.  The history, discovery, and scientific breakthroughs will spark interest. The last 15 slides deal with the biochemistry and...

A system is only as good as the sum of its parts! Young scholars explore the components of the different body systems using a hands-on lesson. The lesson helps learners build an understanding that there is a hierarchy of components in...

Wolves eat better when the bunny population increases, but how long does that last? A series of 12 biology lessons uses the sixth installment to explore the predator-prey relationship between bunny and wolf populations. Young scientists...

Young scholars make a bungee cord. In this potential and kinetic energy instructional activity, students work in groups to create a bungee cord for an egg. Young scholars evaluate and test their cord. After performing the experiment...

In this elements worksheet, students learn the rules for assigning oxidation numbers and then practice using these rules. Students use oxidation number to determine if a substance has been oxidized or reduced. This worksheet has 14...

Sixth graders understand the basic needs of humans. In this basic needs lesson, 6th graders participate in an activity to search for their basic needs. Students recognize the problems when their is scarcity of a necessity to their lives....

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

Find similarities in seemingly unlike organisms. The second instructional activity in a series of 12 builds the concept of a taxonomy and explores the use of a dichotomous key. Learners begin in part one by attempting to group a set of...

I don't always make vector jokes, but when I do, IJK. Vector addition using multiple methods, scalar multiplication, vector subtraction, vector components, relative velocities, free body diagrams, and so much more Are covered in this...

A splendid chart of information about chemical bonding tops the first page. In it you will find information on London forces, permanent dipoles, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and covalent bonds. A four-step process for assigning...

Seven pages with 33 multiple choice questions about motion make up this worksheet. Calculations must be performed in order to choose the correct answer. Physics majors will solve for angles, displacement, acceleration, speed, and time...

I would weigh less on the moon? Send me there, then! On the top of the first page, a cartoon image demonstrates the difference between Earth and the moon. It then goes on to describe weight and mass and provides five practice problems...

Only three slides comprise this collection. The first defines molecular weight and molar mass. The second lists the molar mass and number of particles in a mole of several substances. The third is a chart depicting a chemical reaction...

In this motion worksheet, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine oxidation reduction in order to apply it in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

Spread your knowledge of spreadsheets. The first of five tutorials in the Spreadsheet Data Analysis unit introduces the basics of spreadsheets. It shows future data analysts how to organize and format tables, and how to use functions to...

Learners use this problem to help them to relate to force vectors: Suspend a meterstick horizontally between two tables. Place a 1kg mass in the middle of the meterstick. Notice the bend of the meterstick. Explain why the meterstick...

Young scholars pretend they have just entered a national park. They imagine that the park borders are all impassable mountains, and students will play the role of grizzly bears. Young scholars list three things every animal needs to...

An online resource, this worksheet has your chemistry learners complete four data tables with information about atoms and chemical bonds. The first table addresses atomic number and mass, as well as numbers of protons, neutrons, and...

Sixth graders discuss and describe consumers and producers. They discuss and describe predator-prey relationship. Students review food chains. They form a circle, and each student is given an ecosystem card. Student at the top is given...

Three pages containing 51 true and false questions make up this nervous system review. The major topics listed at the top of the test mention a film strip and a laboratory activity, but the questions appear to be answerable without...

Middle schoolers work with scientific notation and rounding as they determine volume. In this volume lesson, pupils attempt to calculate the volume of the planet Jupiter. They use rounding to two significant digits and scientific...

Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.

In this averages learning exercise, learners practice finding the averages of numbers. They use a chart with data to find the average number of wildfires in four states between 1993 and 1996.
