Human biology beginners label colorful diagrams of the neuron, the reflex pathway, and the brain. They list steps in the action potential process, and describe several different neurotransmitters. This worksheet guides learners through...

Study the process of by which humans respond to their environment to reach equilibrium in this tutorial. Learn that feedback mechanisms trigger living things to respond to their environment.

Review over the body systems of the organisms in this tutorial.

Students 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...

Students will identify the role of the oceans in the formation of weather systems such as hurricanes.

Given scenarios, descriptions, or illustrations, the student will determine the properties of water that affect chemical and biological systems.

Compare a variety of animals' circulatory systems to the human circulatory system. Paul Andersen uses his SMART Board to show the differences between two, three, and four chamber hearts, focusing on the human heart.
