I developed this lab after being really disappointed that I didn't see any good water cycle labs online that allowed students to see multiple real-world processes of the water cycle. Students move through 7 lab stations where they will observe/experiment with the processes of the water cycle: evaporation, sublimation, freezing, melting, condensation, transpiration and run-off. (Some stations show more than one process). Students must identify the process(es) and explain evidence how they know

This editable test is a Word Doc that includes vocabulary matching, short answer and multiple choice questions. The is a diagram of a gel electrophoresis experiment as well as a karyotype to analyze. There is a review to give prior to the test, as well as a key. Topics include: cloning recombinant DNA gel electrophoresis gene therapy genetic engineering DNA fingerprint Human Genome Project CRISPR

Units include: Semester 1: -medical terminology -chemistry -cells and tissues -skin -skeletal system -muscular system -finals review and games Look for my second

Update - I have added additional links including some new labs, notes slides, student guided notes, vocabulary assistance and more for digital classrooms. We just adopted this textbook in my district. (HMH Science Dimensions Biology) It has the 3D model of DNA on the green cover, if you want to make sure it's the same book you are using. I was struggling to figure out how to use the book in a meaningful manner, because I really love the book but it is very different from how I have been te

These videos can be found on Youtube. They are Amoeba Sisters videos - "How cells become specialized" and "Specialized Cells - Significance and Examples". These can be used as a whole class, or independent work.

This includes two teacher guided notes slides along with two guided notes that students complete while the teacher is instructing. It also has 5 independent notes to complete using the textbook from pages 4-29 of the HMH Science Dimensions Biology Textbook.

This bundle includes standards, a calendar/unit plan, student objective tracking sheets, finals review guides and games. Each unit includes a ton of resources such as: notes, flashcards, vocabulary practice sheets, interactive notes, close read assignments, tests, practice worksheets, lab sheets, video clips, pictures, jeopardy, activities, foldables, etc. Units include: Semester 2: -career project (students research a medical career, interview someone in that field, and create a presentat

I created this unit bundle based upon the HMH Dimensions Biology Textbook. I have really enjoyed this textbook, but found it very overwhelming to get started using it. So I started creating these units and I have found that my students are learning so much more than ever!! What this bundle includes: -day by unit plan -copies of any labs and resources I found online for free, or names of resources I purchased on TpT -unit cover sheets - unit notebook tabs for students to stay organized - student

These are notes that students can take for the following 2 YouTube videos. You can have students do these independently, as review or introduction to the topics, as a class, or for homework. It includes simple answer questions, as well as creating diagrams. At the end of the worksheet, students make predictions about how the systems of Earth would be impacted by various scenarios such as "if Earth were flat".

This is a bundle for the entire 3rd Unit - Matter and Energy in Living Things - based upon the HMH Dimensions Biology Textbook. The cornell notes are chunked, so students can focus on learning one main topic at a time. The notes require students to think more deeply about the content as they read. They are forced to take their time and apply what they are reading. Bundle Includes: -Notebook tabs - I use these with a coversheet (Driving Questions) for students to make a tab in their notebook

This is a bundle of notes and labs that will be used with the HMH Science Dimensions Biology Textbook. It covers Unit 2 - Chemistry of Living Things. I have included a calendar unit plan as well as labs I found online to go with the notes. I have chunked the notes into small topics and each set of notes is followed by a lab. Bundle Includes: Unit Calendar Chunked cornell notes for each section Powerpoints with video link for every topic Lab sheets that I created

This test covers: -basic atomic structure -mass number -atomic number -label the parts of an elements symbol found on the periodic table - what determines an elements identity -period vs group -organization of the periodic table -basic properties of metals, nonmetal, and metalloids -atomic radius -graphing atomic number vs atomic mass

This research project includes ideas for students to research, a notes organizer, and a scoring sheet. Students research a topic about human impact of their choice such as plastics, deforestation, and ocean acidification. 18 topics are listed on the document, but they can also choose their own not listed with instructor approval. The notes organizer has guiding questions and tasks to help them develop a complete project about their topic, and the scoring sheet is used for the teacher to score th

This bundle includes both the Teacher-led Guided Notes presentation and student copy of guided notes, as well as the independent student book notes for Chapter 5 - Cells: Stability and Change from the HMH Science Dimensions Biology Textbook. See my store for the full unit plan, or for these notes separately. These notes cover the whole chapter. Topics include the cell cycle, cell size, regulation of cell division, apoptosis, cancer, cell theory and it's history, chromosome structure, mitosis a

Rubric that ensures that students are not missing any components vital to the carbon cycle. It includes the following processes: photosynthesis, plant and animal respiration, death and decomposition, combustion, ocean exchange.

This lesson includes: -PowerPoint about age structure diagrams, and also teaches students how to create their own -Data sheet to use to create their own age structure diagram, along with analysis questions -Homework/Closure/Extra Practice Sheet

This is a lab where students extract DNA from both strawberries and bananas and then write up a formal lab report analyzing the data. There is a detailed set of instructions for students to write the lab report as well as a rubric for the lab report. This is a really simple lab to set up and students LOVE it.

Students learn the scientific method by designing their own lab. I have found that students learn the scientific method much better by designing their own lab right at the beginning of the year. It is the 2nd lab I do! (First lab being a measurement lab) Supplies required: student worksheet, powerpoint presentation, alka-seltzer tablets, warm water, salt water, acidic water (vinegar water), colored water, sugar water, tap water, timers (or student phones), graduated cylinders, beakers. Pur

Students must analyze data related to Newton's Laws, decide which type of measuring equipment would be appropriate in a given scenario, as well as answer multiple choice questions about Newton's Laws of Motion.
