Students investigate the production of proteins by the DNA. For this protein synthesis lesson plan, students use paper models to explore transcription and translation to make proteins using DNA. Students answer 10 questions to...

What do aspirin and the willow tree have in common? Scholars of chemical synthesis engage in a fascinating reaction to make their own aspirin samples. The lab uses thin layer chromatography analysis, includes stoichiometric calculations,...

How fun would it be to teach the concept of stoichiometry while allowing your chemistry class to assemble a classic campfire treat? This fun and engaging activity allows pupils to explore the principles of the chemical theory while...

Excite classes with a STEM project-based learning lesson covering chemical reactions. Groups study the different types through simulations and hands-on activities. They pick one type (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double...

Help readers learn to create their own open-ended questions for any text you are working with. Using Bloom's Taxonomy, learners begin on the lower levels and work their way up to form questions that focus on synthesis instead of simple...

Critical thinking is required to answer these five questions on cellular respiration. Advanced biology learners consider transport across the mitochondrial membrane and the metabolic pathway in ATP synthesis. 

For this protein synthesis worksheet, students use a given strand of DNA to write the complimentary base pairs. They transcribe the message to the RNA and then they translate the message into the proper amino acids using the codons on...

In this protein synthesis worksheet, students identify the proper amino acids given the mRNA codons. They also identify the mRNA codon given the DNA code and the amino acid it codes for. Students answer questions about protein synthesis.

In this genetics worksheet, students answer a variety of questions about inheritance, DNA, the genetic code, genes, sexual and asexual reproduction, mutations, protein synthesis and genetic engineering.

Learners examine different levels of organization in biological systems for structure and function relationships.  In this biological systems lesson, students use Internet resources to look at structure and function in the eye, the...

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

The living environment, from the interior of a cell to the complex relationships among populations, are queried in this final examination. Learners look at air pollution maps, diagrams of cells, population graphs, and drawing of cells....

Dream or nightmare? Class members craft a synthesis essay with textual to determine to what extent the United States has fulfilled the ideas embodied in the America Dream.

In this chemistry worksheet, students work on a problem set consisting of 16 equations in which they synthesize carboxylic acid derivatives.

Tenth graders write and balance chemical equations and make a PowerPoint presentation on synthesis reactions.

Students explore protein synthesis. They create a three dimensional, model of protein synthesis depicting all of the processes involved. Students create an oral presentation.

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...

What happened when the chemistry teacher told a bad joke? There was no reaction! A creative take on the traditional reaction types lesson invites learners to draw their own conclusions about how compounds and elements combine. Groups...

Ready, set, write! Scholars work on the end-of-unit assessment by completing a writing prompt. They then look at the model performance task from instructional activity two to create a rubric for scoring the exercise. Using turn and talk,...

Future geneticists use base pairing rules to build DNA and RNA polypeptide strands, and then explain both transcription and translation. Although the chains themselves are a little blurry, there is plenty of room in them for learners to...

Does the size of a sample change the physical properties of that substance? It turns out it can! Young scientists combine physics and chemistry to synthesize CdSe quantum dots and record their color properties. Learners should...

Certain materials do not always maintain the same physical properties when they exist in the nanoscale. Help your classes to explore this idea through an experimental lesson. Scholars use spectroscopy with samples of silver solution...

Make all the ratio representations fit together. The 15th segment in a series of 29 presents ratio problems to solve. Scholars use a variety of representations to respond to the questions. The problem set has pupils show how the...

When your AP biology class is studying DNA and genomes, this worksheet will provide a detailed review. On the first page are diagrams and matching SEM (scanning electron microscope) images of different levels of DNA packing to be...
