Engage your biology students in a literacy-rich exploration of reproduction with this interactive Google Slides sorting activity!Students read 18 short, inference-based passages describing how different organisms reproduce — from strawberries and hydra to frogs and coral — and must decide: does this organism use one parent or two? Rather than memorizing definitions, students analyze, infer, and apply biological reasoning, building both scientific understanding and reading comprehension skill

Are you looking for a fun, low-prep way to review for the Biology End of Course Exam? My students love this biological take on candyland, and it's built using the most recent released EOCs from NCDPI. This standards-aligned activity will get your students competing fiercely while they review the most important concepts from your course. It's something everyone can enjoy, and best of all - it's easy. Included in the primary document you'll find links to everything you need including a color

What is it?Are you looking for a way to introduce, reinforce, or review DNA replication? This interactive DNA replication modeling activity is fun and engaging for students, and it helps them get hands-on and minds-on with abstract cellular processes. This no-prep, remote-friendly activity provides detailed instructions for modeling a simplified version of DNA replication where students take on the role of DNA helicase and DNA polymerase while gaining an understanding and appreciation of the

This digital modeling activity allows students to drag and drop biomolecules to build a cell membrane complete with phospholipids and their constituent parts, cholesterol, and membrane proteins! Students enjoy putting the pieces together based on a short passage intended to simplify the structure of the plasma membrane. This activity works perfectly as a warm-up or introduction to cell and organismal homeostasis. A link to a key is provided so students can check their understanding and

This is a #googleslides drag & drop #Venn diagram to compare and contrast two critical cell processes: #photosynthesis and aerobic cellular #respiration. It's part of a progression for understanding energy conversions in a variety of cells and organisms. I use this activity after discussing the basics of aerobic respiration.  Students already have a working knowledge of photosynthesis, and this drag & drop activity helps them visualize the similarities and differences between these proces

Enhance your high school biology curriculum with this interactive assignment. Students will construct a digital model of DNA using Google Slides and receive guided practice through an EdPuzzle video. What’s Included:Google Slides DNA Model TemplateQuick-start video instructions for studentsTwo pages of DNA Structure/Function PracticeEdPuzzle Video for Guided PracticeKey Benefits:Hands-on engagement with digital toolsGuided practice through multimedia resourcesSuitable for both in-person and r

What is it?This remote-friendly document is a collection of tasks related to brief readings on the 4 main biological molecules. In each activity students read and analyze images, then complete practical tasks focused on the structure and function of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each task focuses on helping students understand each of the following questions related to biological molecules: What are the major functions?What monomers build the polymer?What elements are co

When there's a lot of information to remember, compartmentalization helps to keep the brain decluttered! This no-prep practice activity soring information related to biological molecules, is easy to deliver and effective in practice. Students enjoy the drag and drop functionality, and they can complete the activity from any device and any location. What's Included?-20 drag and drop info tiles -Four biomolecule categories -Video extension / refresher -KEY for self assessment

What is it?If you need a quick review or reinforcement of these two nucleic acids, this is a great tool. Students drag and drop words and phrases to compare and contrast DNA and RNA. My students complete this activity after working through an EdPuzzle assignment on RNA and before completing a discussion post about the similarities and differences between these molecules. It's a nice way to... A) Review nucleic acid structure and function B) Set up a discussion and exploration of protein synthe

Explore the connection between cell communication and mental health with this engaging and easy-to-understand informational text! This product is perfect for high school biology or health classes and introduces students to the roles neurotransmitters and hormones play in anxiety and emotional well-being. Key Features: Clear explanation of how chemical messengers (neurotransmitters and hormones) affect emotions and mental health.Relatable examples, such as anxiety before a test or presentation, t

Engage your students in an exploration of adaptations and their connection to life functions. This resource provides a no-prep, comprehensive, and hands-on approach to understanding this fundamental biological concept. Key Features:Interactive Learning: Our digital resource allows students to actively participate in the learning process. They will recall and categorize adaptations into three primary categories and determine which life function(s) are satisfied by each adaptation.Collaborative Le
