What's the Difference?
Students analyze the similarities in different species. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students classify shoes to mimic the scientific categories of the classification system.

Reproduction
In this reproduction worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram by comparing and contrasting asexual and sexual reproduction.
Curated OER
Meiosis, Gene Linkage and Maps
Students identify the structures that actually assort independently. They are taught how gene maps are produced. Students compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis. They are shown their (mitosis and meiosis) significane to sexual...
Curated OER
Sexual Versus Asexual Reproduction
Students discuss the prefix "a" as in atypical and abiotic. They coy definitions of sexual and asexual reproduction into their notes. Students use prior knowledge of mitosis, meiosis, and previous diagrams to describe what happens in...
Curated OER
Investigation of Meiosis in Common Plants and Animals
Students witness various stages of mitosis through preparing onion root tip slides. With teacher guidance, they learn a great deal through the hands-on process of preparing the slides themselves.
Curated OER
Plant Propagation
Pupils successfully start a new plant by any means of vegetative propagation. They select a propagation method which is appropriate for the plant and keep a laboratory journal of the treatment and progress of the new plant.
Curated OER
Mitosis
Students explore the four stages of mitosis. They view a prepared slide of an onion root tip undergoing mitosis to identify the stage for each cell in view. They record the number of cells in each stage, graph the results, then calcualte...

Diversity of Life
Students explore the diversity of life forms and the role that interdependency plays in our world through a mult-segmented unit. This segment introduces the unit.
Curated OER
Goals of the Diversity of Life Unit
Students are introduced to the unit on the importance of diversity of life and the role that interdependence plays in our worlds. this is part of a multi-lesson unit on the diversity of life.
Curated OER
What is Diversity of Life?
Students are introduced to the variety of organisms in our world. this instructional activity is a part of a multi-segmented unit on specie diversity. this segment explores distribution of life on land and sea.

Kingdom Animalia
Young scholars are introduced to the basic characteristics of the animal kingdom. this lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students explore the the members of a few phyla of the animal...
Curated OER
Tackling Taxonomy
Students study physical characteristics of separate phyla and place them into similar groups. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. students develop a classification system by grouping animals into...
Curated OER
Creative Classification
Students create an animal by using physical characteristics to classify that animal in the Linnaean Classification System. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life.
Curated OER
Missing Links
Young scholars change one animal group into another animal group by changing only a few body characteristics. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this session, students the basis of classification.
Curated OER
Diversity Debate
Learners investigate the importance of dependency and diversity in a rain forest ecosystem. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life.
