File includes 30 different bingo boards with numbers already filled in, a sheet of element names that can be cut out for calling bingo, and a call she

In this engaging review activity, students practice using anatomical directional terms and the names of body regions. First, a student draws shapes on a body outline and writes directions to a partner. Then the image is covered and the partner follows the directions. This activity reinforces basic anatomy vocabulary such as abdominal, cranial, pelvic, spinal, thoracic, superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, proximal, distal, etc. It also strengthens writing skills within t

This activity is a great review for students during an introductory chemistry or physical science unit. Students rotate between 6 stations: Measurement, Significant Figures, Metric System, Laboratory Equipment, Precision and Accuracy, and Scientific Method. Laminate the sheets or place them in clear sleeves, and students can write responses directly on the stations using dry erase marker. I give students a slip of paper with 6 lines for me to sign as they complete each station. Students can

Have your Anatomy and Physiology students practice using anatomical terms to help them review for their test or to refresh their memories after a break. This assignment includes 5 stations: ~Anatomy vs. Physiology ~Body Cavities ~Anatomical Terms Opposites ~Body Planes ~Anatomical Directional Terms Stations are designed to be laminated or placed in clear plastic sleeves so that students write their responses on the stations in dry erase marker. Alternatively, you may have students write thei

Update: Please purchase the bundle! It is the same price, and it includes a corrected version of the vocabulary puzzle. **Updated file includes the water cycle and carbon cycle.

The file includes everything you need for 6 review stations. Each station should take 5-6 minutes for students to complete. Includes a st

This foldable activity is used to teach the dorsal and ventral body cavities, including cranial, spinal, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities. Students create flaps to label the 5 body cavities and write the major organs found in each. The organs can be colored if desired. The first page is a printable worksheet that is cut and folded into the complete activity. The second page includes step-by-step instructions for completing the foldable. I use this activity as a right side ISN (Intera

In this project, students create a Power Point or Prezi to present a health related career to the class. Alone or in pairs, students research the job duties and salary of a health career. They also research 2 schools that offer training in the field and learn the GPA and test score requirements for entrance into the programs. After the presentations, I have my students reflect on what they learned and write about the career that most interested them. The file includes a 1 page project descri

Students work with a partner to generate a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation to educate their peers about a common sexually transmitted disease. The first page of the file contains a project description that can be printed as-is or modified to suit your class. Pages 2 and 3 include an additive grading rubric. All students begin with an 80% and gain or lose points according to where they fall within the scoring criteria. The rubric can be modified to suit your needs.

Students fill out this worksheet as they view an episode of Mythbusters. Students are asked to identify the steps of the scientific method used in the show and explain it in the context of the episode. I use this in my scientific method unit as an application exercise, and I leave copies in my drawer along with a Mythbusters DVD as an emergency substitute lesson plan.

Students review food webs, succession, symbiosis, population ecology, nutrient cycles, and vocabulary. Divide students into small groups and have them rotate through the stations, providing 6 to 8 minutes per station. I recommend printing 2 copies of the stations and having smaller groups rotate around half of the room. This bundle includes a PDF that corrects the printing issues with the vocabulary puzzle.

This is a full lesson that encourages students to use key literacy skills to understand, organize, and summarize difficult text. Students begin by reading a section from their biology book and placing the words and phrases into the graphic organizer. This stage works best with partners so students have someone to compare ideas with. Once the first part is completed, students work cooperatively to construct a summary paragraph. Students must use their organizer to write a paragraph explaining

This set of stations is designed to accompany Prentice Hall's Biology, chapter 5. Topics covered include monomers and polymers, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and enzymes. *This updated version replaces the Quia activity with a matching exercise that has students match and play memory with diagrams of organic molecules. The Quia activity is still active for those who prefer it. An answer key was also added. These 6 stations focus heavily on interpreting diagrams and chemical structures.

This lab provides three short interactive demonstrations of water's unique life-supporting properties: cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension. Students review important vocabulary, apply it during a self-guided lab, and follow up with critical thinking questions. Materials for each lab group are simple: water, dropper, petri dish, 2 slides, penny, and a paper clip. This lab is designed to accompany Chapter 4 section 4 of Prentice Hall biology.
