This project asks students to create a creature and their genes to learn the differences between Mendelian genetics, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles, and x-linked traits. Students have gotten really creative with this project when I have used it in my classroom. I have seen Pig-Sharks, Mermaids, Pencils, and more as creatures. While it allows students to be creative it still requires them to learn the content. It gives them creative freedom, but holds them to high standards.

Make ecology come to life by having students create their own fictional ecosystem. Students will demonstrate their understanding of ecology by creating a fictional ecosystem complete with plants and animals. They will show how plants and animals have adapted to their ecosystem, how they interact with one another (symbiosis), which organisms eat which (food chains and food webs), how their ecosystem formed over time (ecological succession), and how mater travels through their ecosystem (biogeoche

This document is a series of four different front and back worksheets intended to be worked on with a partner as an introduction to Non-Mendelian genetics. There are also two advanced dihybrid cross questions (using ABO and Rh factor alleles) as extensions. What do students need to know before they can start?Students should be familiar with how to complete a monohybrid Punnett square. Throughout the lesson you will teach co-dominance, incomplete dominance, and multiple alleles. If you want to do

This paper lab has students simulate PCR. Students will learn the steps and stages of PCR. Great for comparing PCR to replication. Just print the first two pages. Make sure they are single sided. Students will also need scratch paper and scissors. The third page is an answer key. This product is best suited for advanced or AP students. Happy Teaching!

These two self-guided lessons cover photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They work well when used together. Students will learn about the light and dark reaction in the Photosynthesis Self-Paced Lesson and glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain in the Cellular Respiration Self-Paced Lesson.

This self-guided lesson includes a PDF that students can go through on their own. Each page has a short paragraph and a couple of questions that will lead students to an understanding of the cell cycle and mitosis. Each phase of interphase is discussed as well as all of the phases of mitosis. G1, S, G2, and G0 are covered with a quick mention of how cells that cannot go into G0 become cancerous. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are described. Cytokinesis is also discussed. The lesso

Students will work through a series of slides with a paragraph and a couple of questions each. As they move through, they will gain an understanding of enzymes, substrates, anabolic reactions, catabolic reactions, the lock and key model, the induced fit model, activation energy, enzyme activity, and denaturation. At the end there is a ten question quiz which students can use to gauge their understanding. This product is best used for the regular classroom or for students who were out. It is self

Why lecture when you could play a game? In this board game students will play as a virus trying to infect more cells. Each student plays a different type of virus with different stats. Some viruses can go into the lysogenic cycle while others are stuck in the lytic cycle. Whenever I use this resource in my class students are always excited to play. As they play the game they learn about the stages of viral reproduction and the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles. It is a great int

A worksheet designed to show the different levels of organization of the nervous system. The worksheet depicts the brain and spinal cord, then zooms into the brain tissue (white and gray matter), then looks at the cellular level showing neurons. Finally, the biochemical level is shown with depictions of neurotransmitters crossing a synapse. You can use this resource as a coloring sheet or as a quiz. The first page is labeled, the second has no labels, and the third is just the picture. Need more

A worksheet with osmosis problems. Students will solve for hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic. Students will indicate the net flow of water. At the end of the worksheet, students will put in their own values to make cells hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic. A problem solving aid is included. Have students put the percent solution into the blanks on the aid, which will show them the net flow of water and the tonacity of the solution (hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic). Answer key included.
