Biology Lessons
"Genetic Traits and Human Karyotypes"
In this activity, pairs of students used their own physical traits to determine their chromosomal makeup in the form of a karyotype. Each partner then contributed half of their chromosomes to make their “baby.”
Class Handouts:
"Genetic Engineering Research Project"
For this project, 9th grade biology students researched some of the more interesting and controversial topics in genetic engineering. We spent three days in the library research information and completing the two components of the project: a research paper and a poster or PowerPoint presentation. Students presented their research in front of their peers over two class period.
Class Handouts:
Introduction, Instructions, and Rubrics
Student Work:
Medium Sample of Research Paper
Physical Science Lessons
"Atoms, Atoms, Atoms"
The following lesson was conducted in a 7th grade physical science classroom in one 40-minute period. In this activity, students used edible "subatomic particles" to practice building 2-D atom models. For an out-of-class project, students then built 3-D atom models using common household materials.
"Bond with a Classmate"
In this activity, students used pre-made "element cards" to practice making electron dot diagrams. Students became the element that was on their card and tried to find a classmate that he or she could bond with.
