This activity is a biology lab investigation where students create habitats to observe decomposers in a controlled setting.
This activity lesson plan is called “Build a Better Wall” where students are planners and constructors who are trying to construct a wall using various materials that can withstand an earthquake.
This is a great lesson plan with everything you need to teach about the importance of bees and how to keep them healthy.
All living beings are made up of cells. Some of them are made up of only one cell and others have many cells. Also in: Dutch | French | Hungarian | Spanish
This resource is useful as a kinesthetic activity to reinforce the content on nucleic acids. Students can create a model that shows the three dimensional aspect of DNA and understand the helix shaped molecule and its components.
This is a hands-on activity to assess the students understanding of peptide and disulfide bonds formed during protein synthesis. Students demonstrate the process of dehydration synthesis by combining amino acids through peptide bonds creating molecules of water, and one protein amino acid strand. It can also be used to assess students understanding of the process of translation.
Students will use engineering skills to develop and use models as well as collaboratively plan an investigation to make sense of buoyancy.

This is an integrated lesson which is introduced using the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. Butterfly metamorphosis is explored through art, math, and writing.
Protist Nutrition
Covers the different techniques protists use to gain nutrition.

A web adventure featuring characters from the popular CSI series in which students participate in completing a crime scene investigation using proper forensic technique.
Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum activity. In advance of an actual lab activity, students virtually simulate the calibration of a laboratory micropipettor. QL: Accuracy and precision.
this is a lesson plan detailing a project where students will discover how animals that blend into their surrounding environment can protect them against predators.
After providing students with instruction on vitamins-benfits and sources. Assign students to the campigan a great form of peer teaching. This can be a form of assessment as well.
This resource is for teachers who want to teach their students about earthquakes and human involvement. This lesson plan is designed for older students to learn about earthquakes, hydraulic fracturing, and hydrocarbons while collecting and analyzing data to create a scientific poster of their findings based on their argument driven inquiry.
How does AI Chat work and how easy is it for humans to pick out? This simulation will help students to distinguish the difference between human written paragraphs and AI written paragraphs. Students will take a look into behavioral science and the effects of using AI Chat to complete daily activities.
A great lesson on using insects as an alternative to animal meat to provide nutrition to humans.
After completing the associated lesson and its first associated activity, students are familiar with the 20 major bones in the human body knowing their locations and relative densities. When those bones break, lose their densities or are destroyed, we look to biomedical engineers to provide replacements. In this activity, student pairs are challenged to choose materials and create prototypes that could replace specific bones. They follow the steps of the engineering design process, researching, brainstorming, prototyping and testing to find bone replacement solutions. Specifically, they focus on identifying substances that when combined into a creative design might provide the same density (and thus strength and support) as their natural counterparts. After iterations to improve their designs, they present their bone alternative solutions to the rest of the class. They refer to the measured and calculated densities for fabricated human bones calculated in the previous activity, and conduct Internet research to learn the densities of given fabrication materials (or measure/calculate those densities if not found online).
