Students investigate the enzyme catalase. In this enzyme lesson plan, students observe a normal catalase reaction, they observe liver tissue, potato, chicken and apple for the enzyme catalase and they study the effects of temperature and...

Nanofibers can be made through electrospinning or force spinning in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Pupils study the role of fibers and dye on the environment through a series of five hands-on activities. Then,...

Students observe the effectiveness of detergents on breaking down proteins.  For this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows how proteins are broken down in gelatin and fill out a worksheet. 

Students explain the importance and function of enzymes. They compare and contrast the processes of DNA replication and polymerase chain reactions. They practice using new vocabulary as well.

Twelfth graders explore the usage of alcohol fuel. In this Current Events activity, 12th graders research the issue of using this type of energy.  Students complete a worksheet on their research. 

Investigate the relationships between different deep-sea organisms by DNA sequencing. A worksheet provides instructions for DNA sequencing and space to work. They simulate gel electrophoresis by cutting out paper "DNA strands."...

Ms. Strohfeldt did not omit anything when she designed this comprehensive lesson plan on DNA mutation and sex-linked traits. Begin with a pretest as an anticipatory set. Read a case history of the Clark family and the occurrence of...

In this biology worksheet, students review the procedures used to complete the lab activity and then examine the purpose and add the information while answering the questions.

In this anatomy worksheet, young scholars complete 22 review questions in the format of short answer, table completion, and fill in the blank after finishing an online virtual experiment about the chemical and physical processes of...

High schoolers are introduced to DNA microarrays. They discuss how scientists and doctors use them and how they work. They complete a worksheet and discuss their findings.

Students model recombination in DNA. They color the DNA sample and cut it out. Students use their "restriction enzymes" to cut the DNA into specific fragments. They separate the fragments using the "gel electrotrophoresis." Students...

Students construct DNA fingerprints. In this genetics lesson, students watch an on-line gel electrophoresis animation, then they work in groups to use a restriction map to create a restriction enzyme and use that to arrange a DNA...

Middle schoolers explore food. In this processed and fresh foods lesson, students discover how some foods are processed and how they differ from fresh food. The complete group activities and an individual reading assignment. This lesson...

HIV mutates rapidly, making treatments challenging to find. Scholars learn about why it mutates so quickly and how scientists race to find treatments. The resource approaches the issue from both a molecular and evolutionary perspective...

Pupils use limited data and their prior knowledge to solve problems focused on various inhibitors of respiration in this lesson plan on cellular respiration in a molecular level. This lesson plan includes a student handout and a...

Students investigate the concept of food preservation. They use the internet to conduct research, specifically the methods of processing the students' favorite foods. They are introduced to the project using realia like beef jerky and...
