This lab allows students to color all the pieces of a DNA strand. First they will assemble nucleotides and then form a DNA strand. They will show DNA replication by separating the strands they made and pairing the old strands with the complimentary base pairs. I had students glue their strands to the large pieces of construction paper. One model on one side and the other model on the other side. Conclusion questions are also part of the activity in which students will have to describe replicat

These online activities are to be used with Google Classroom. Provided is the link that you are able to make a copy of into your own Google Drive to then use for your classroom. When making the assignment in Google Classroom, you can make a copy for each student to write within the Google Slides. The activities that students will be completing are as follows: 1) Watch the Mitosis Crash Course Video (the link is embedded in the slides). Students will write down 10 facts from the video and one qu

Students will be reading through some notes on blood typing. They will then complete practice problems. Students will be able to click on the genotypes and drag them in to the Punnett Square. They will then analyze the Punnett Square and answer questions about the crosses. Provided below is the links for the Blood Typing Google Slides Notes and Practice Problems. Once you click the link, a screen will prompt you to make a copy of it. Click the blue copy button and it will make a copy of the G

Included are 8 different stations you can use on the scientific method. These stations include writing clear instructions, writing conclusions, graphing,(line and bar) creating a hypothesis, forming a question, independent/dependent variables and controls. After my students complete these stations, they complete my Rubber Band Launching Scientific Method Lab that you can find in my store. Thank you so much for your purchase!

These online activities are a INTERACTIVE GOOGLE SLIDES. They can easily be used with Google Classroom.

When making the assignment in Google Classroom, you can make a copy for each student to write within the Google Slides. The activities that students will be completing are as follows: -Students will complete brief readings and answer questions after each reading. -They will loo

After teaching the scientific method, I end the unit by having students complete the rubber band launching lab. They will be calculating averages, graphing, and analyzing their data to support or refute their hypothesis.

This is a 5 W's Graphic Organizer (Who, What, Where..) with guided, scaffolded questions to help focus students' research. Students will use the genome.gov website for the complete list of genetic disorders. This is an EDITABLE Document so you can add guided questions or delete them. This can be used as a way for students to organize their research as a precursor for a research paper, or if you're short on time students can use this document to organize the information for mini in-class presenta
