Students work with a partner to complete an inventory of their traits and compare and discuss their unique qualities. In this biology lesson, students determine percentages for the frequency of observed traits of classmates, compile the...

Students examine how living cells create new cells and how genetic mutations can cause disorders and be inherited.  In this genetic reproductionn instructional activity students create their own PowerPoint presentation. 

Students determine their inherited characteristics from their parents. In this biology lesson, students study the life of Mendel using an interactive website. They differentiate dominant and recessive characteristics.

Students explain how offspring inherit traits from their parents. In this biology lesson, students investigate the genes for nicotine addiction using an interactive website. They construct a fictional pedigree using their chosen...

Students study genetic traits using popsicle sticks as chromosomes. In this biology lesson, students explain how traits are inherited from parents. They differentiate dominant and recessive genes.

Personality traits and physical appearance traits within families are the focus here. Learners make a poster which lists the shared physical traits they have with their family. Peers look at each poster and write down the traits they see...

Incorporating the arts into regular classroom practices isn't an easy task. Learners will research background information regarding Russian culture, history, and conflict then see how those things have applied to the rigors of Russian...

Learners review knowledge gained in the three-part unit on the history of the alphabet. Using maps and images, learners consolidate their understanding of ancient Greece, the Romans and the Phoenicians, and their respective impacts...

Students examine family structures. In this family structure activity, students discover things about their own families and those of their classmates. They make a chart as they discuss nature versus nurture, complete a worksheet about...

Students research about human migration during a specific time period. In this physical science lesson, students watch a video about human evolution. They prepare a presentation on human migration and share it with the class.

Learners explain how cells reproduce. In this biology instructional activity, students explain the different stages of the cell cycle. They calculate the number of new cells produced.

Students extract DNA from split peas. In this biology lesson plan, students research how chromatin form into chromosomes. They draw the stages and present their work in class.

Students create a fictional organism. In this biology lesson, students predict the traits of resulting offspring. They complete activity worksheet and discuss answers in class.

Students predict traits of future offspring. In this biology lesson plan, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.

Students create PowerPoint presentation on the topic they researched. For this biology lesson, students fill out a storyboard about their topic. They share their project in class.

Students research different areas of biotechnology. In this biology lesson plan, students create a presentation about their research. They debate the topic presented and share their views on the subject.

Students prepare PowerPoint presentation on DNA and cells. In this biology instructional activity, students create a storyboard of their presentation. They share the finished project in class. 

Students summarize their classmates' presentation in class. In this biology lesson, students create a graphic organizer based on concepts presented. They discuss and share their organizer.

Students explore genetics through various hands-on activities. In this biology lesson, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.

Students build chromosome models using popsicle sticks. In this biology instructional activity, students simulate the Law of Independent Assortment. They use Punnett squares to predict the resulting genotype and phenotype.

Learners solve a crime by matching a suspect's blood type to physical evidence collected at the crime scene. In this forensic science lesson, students identify the different blood types. They explain how blood tests work.

Students discuss strategies for confronting destructive stereotypes and mythologies, as well as promoting racial understanding in Students.

Young scholars discuss children's rights during wartime and watch public service announcements. After reading excerpts from children's diaries of war, they work in groups to create a storyboard for their own PSA on children's rights...

Students research a website to learn about the Florida panther. For this animal research lesson, students use the scavenger hunt directions to search a website about Florida panthers. Students also solve word puzzles within the activity.
