These test prep activities will help prepare your IB SL Biology students for upcoming tests or exam papers. With a separate activity for each level of each theme, this is a great way to re-visit IB Biology content that was learned earlier in the course. Students will use their knowledge to solve each riddle. This resource can also be used as a bell ringer, to provide extra practice, or be available to challenge fast finishers. How To:1. Print pages 1 and 2 double sided for each of your students.

Get students out of their seats to track the movement of Carbon in the environment. From Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration to Ocean Acidification & Fossil Fuel Combustion will be discovered in this fun activity. Students choose any station to begin their carbon journey. At the station, students will learn about carbon's role in that part of the environment. Students then roll the dice to learn where (and how!) carbon goes from there. Stations: Atmosphere, Land Plants, Land Animal

Get students out of their seats to track the movement of Carbon and Nitrogen in the environment. In each activity, students track their journey by drawing the stamp and recording how Nitrogen or Carbon moves from one place to another on their Passport. Students will continue to circulate about the stations until their passport is full. Included are follow up questions for students to check their understandings. They may need to revisit some of the stations to answer these questions, but all inf

Teach students the structure of DNA with this student centered, cut and paste lesson. Students will use dice to randomly generate a 5-base DNA sequence, color a template strand according to their sequence, and then color, cut out and glue on the antiparallel, complimentary strand. Concepts Covered• DNA is a polymer • A nucleotide is the monomer • Structure of a nucleotide • 4 Nitrogenous Bases (A, G, C & T) • 3’ - 5’ direction • Antiparallel • Complimentary Base Pairing Materials Needed: Stu
