This plant biology PowerPoint introduces plant parts and their functions. This PowerPoint allows students to identify each plant part on a diagram, along with its' function. The slides contain a clear explanation of how each plant part...

Young scholars explain scientists' ideas about the structure of the atom over the last century. They develop a pictorial history of the changing ideas about the atom and write a caption describing the scientific thinking behind the model.

In this protein synthesis worksheet, learners complete 17 questions about making proteins through the process of transcription and translation. They use a sample of DNA to make a protein using a given tRNA dictionary.

Students describe the science of physics. In this Physics lesson, students observe examples of physics within their classroom. Students create a definition for physics.

Students correlate a series of items with the organelles of a cell. They compare the school to a cell, and create a drawing that compares the cell structure with their home.

Students take an inventory of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other students in groups. They then make data tables and bar graphs showing the most and least common traits in their group.

In this DNA worksheet, students will compare the chemical differences between DNA and RNA. Students will review what makes up the genetic code and the steps of transcription from DNA to mRNA to proteins. This worksheet has 26 fill in the...
