Finding Science

This short lab will help introduce or reinforce the concepts of your senses and how they react to different stimuli around you. Students will work with a partner to test the different reaction times of their sense of sight, hearing and touch when it comes to grabbing a ruler. Students will make their own hypothesis based on their own understanding of their senses and then test that hypothesis through a series of steps. Included graphing and reflection questions.

These notes include a PPT presentation as well as a student fill in the blank copy and teacher master copy. These notes will cover the basics in homeostasis including; what is homeostasis, how is homeostasis maintained, effectors, receptors and control center, as well as positive and negative feedback. Will give students a basic understanding of what homeostasis is without becoming overwhelming. Best for middle school, regular biology class or a quick review for an anatomy class.

Interactive Powerpoint and Notes sheet to review different anatomical evidence for evolution. Covers topics such as homologous structures, analogous structures, and vestigial organs. Includes multiple examples of each in humans and other animals.

This 12 page study guide covers all topics typically covered in a high school Biology course. Topics include: Scientific Method, Macromolecules/Enzymes, Cells, Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration, Mitosis/Meiosis, Ecology, DNA/Protein Synthesis, Human Heredity, Genetics, Genetic Engineering, Evolution and Homeostasis. Questions include short answer, labeling, diagrams, charts and multiple choice. Word File so you can edit to your personal needs.

This short lab helps students to better understand the relationship between their activity level and their heart rate. This is the perfect introductory lab at the beginning of a homeostasis unit to help introduce students to the concepts that will be studied in an investigative format. Students will create their own hypothesis, procedure and need to identify the variables in the lab. Post lab questions help to evaluate how the students grasped the concepts in the lab.

Use an interactive and engaging syllabus format to draw your students in from the first day of class. This syllabus is completely editable for your own information.

Use this sheet in your student's interactive science notebook to help track their progress at mastering all of the Next Generation Science Standards for that unit. Includes important vocabulary for the unit as well. Fully editable so you can customize for your own class.
