Students will use "family histories" to create pedigrees in four different case studies of inherited conditions. From the pedigrees students will be able to determine the pattern of inheritance for the condition. Using Punnett squares, students will then "counsel" the fictional couple in each case study on the likelihood of inheritance. Students who love puzzles and real-world applications will love this activity! This activity includes introductory notes on creating pedigrees as well as sample

This fun and simple activity is a great way to review the process of mitosis and/or meiosis using gummy worms! This product consists of an instructions page that outlines two options for student model (stop motion animation with phones or small-group to whole-class model) as well as two pages to serve as a visual aid of what each process should look like. These visual aids can be used as a teacher key or a handout for students after they have completed their model. Customer Tips: How to get T

In this three-part activity, students will draw connections between carbon dioxide emissions, how acid rain forms, how ocean acidification occurs, and how marine organisms may be impacted. Some big misconceptions are tackled all while doing some hands-on modeling. ***************************************************************************** Customer Tips: How to get TPT credit to use on future purchases: • Please go to your My Purchases page (you may need to login).

This handout gives students a brief explanation of ion and isotope notation followed by a chart with missing information for students to fill out. Using a periodic table and the information provided, students will practice writing and interpreting ion and isotope notation. This is great for a take-home or in-class assignment where students can guide themselves through solving each problem! ***************************************************************************** Customer Tips: How to get

In this lab, students will collect macroinvertebrates in a virtual stream ecosystem and use the data to calculate the stream’s biodiversity index. The biodiversity index is calculated three times as students manipulate the stream's pollution levels. Finally, the analysis questions make sure the message hits home! This lab is formatted so students can easily complete and submit in a virtual environment. Customer Tips: How to get TPT credit to use on future purchases: • Please go to your My P

DescriptionIn this activity, students will become familiar with how DNA fingerprinting works as well as its applications and uses. In the context of a mock crime incident, students read through the process of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), find Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) in model DNA, and make a DNA fingerprint to identify the guilty suspect. Interested in the DNA fingerprinting process that predates this method? Check out my similar product that uses restriction enzymes instead of STRs. Cu

This worksheet enhances your students' topographic map reading skills, lets them visualize landforms by graphing topographic profiles, and guides them through calculating slope from a topographic map. Perfect for reinforcing geography lessons, this hands-on practice will deepen your students' understanding of contour lines, intervals, and elevation changes. Equip your classroom with this essential topography skills practice worksheet!

Explore climate science with our Introduction to Climograph (Climatograph) Worksheet for environmental science or biology students. This engaging activity helps students create and interpret climographs by plotting real temperature and precipitation data to reveal seasonal patterns. As students match the data to different 5 biomes—tropical rainforest, temperate forest, desert, savanna, and tundra—they develop critical thinking skills and deepen their understanding of how climate influences ecosy

In this virtual lab, students will go to a simulated pond filled with tadpoles in order to perform two different methods for estimating population size: sampling and the mark-recapture method. The website does not require flash and the data points and questions are clearly numbered so students can easily answer in a virtual environment. Note: This website automatically generates different numbers each time, so students should have different data and therefore, answers may vary.
