In this figures and graphs review worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 23 various types of problems that include identifying various figures and graphs. First, they name the transformation that maps the unshaded figure or preimage...

In this biology worksheet, students review and answer different questions based upon the molecules of DNA and RNA. They look at the specific protein order of the DNA strand and its synthesis.

In this nutrient biochemistry worksheet, students complete the blanks with information about nucleic acids and the process. Students also draw a figure referenced in the text given.

An interesting PowerPoint which provides the main facts, definitions, and terminology necessary for understanding DNA. It also presents summaries of the processes involved with DNA replication and the application of protein isolation and...

Afrikaans, a language derived from Dutch, is spoken by almost 10 million people! Introduce your scholars to South Africa, discuss the evolution of Afrikaans, and look at Apartheid.

Students examine diversity on the planet and the differences within a species.  In this investigative lesson students complete a lab that allows students to better understand the relatedness between plants. 

Students build a 3-dimensional model of DNA coding for the hormone oxytocin.

Students are presented with a scenario that requires them to electrophoreses human hemoglobin samples in order to confirm a diagnosis of sickle cell anemia and/or to determine whether individuals in the scenario are carriers of the...

Students construct paper model of the DNA molecule.  In this genetics lesson plan, students assemble paper parts that represent nucleotides into a DNA molecule.  Extension ideas are also provided.

Getting bored with the typical review strategies? Why not turn it into a game! Learners practice their DNA vocabulary by trying to get their partner to guess the word they're describing. To complicate things a bit, there are words that...

Learners 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...

In this genetics vocabulary worksheet, students answer 13 multiple choice questions about the structure and function of genes.

Students examine the importance of proteins including their function and structure.  In this protein lesson students play a game to help them better understand proteins.

High schoolers spend the lesson plan reviewing for their Genetics exam. In groups, they compare and contrast the structures of DNA and RNA and discuss how DNA can cause mutations. To end the lesson plan, they share their knowledge on...

Fourth graders, in pairs, examine how every cell contains a 'blueprint' coded in DNA molecules. They use a DNA template to determine the m-RNA and t-RNA sequences for protein.

Students gather information about gene banks. In this biology instructional activity, students work in groups to complete an activity sheet about genetic databases and organism genomes. Lesson includes extension ideas.

In this gene control worksheet, students use the example of the lactose operon structure to describe what happens when this structure is absent or mutated. This worksheet has 21 fill in the blank statements.

Students extrapolate information from primary-source documents. They read and research to create a whole-class timeline of events leading up to 1867 and Confederation.
