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

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.

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.
