This lesson is centered around the book, The World's Best Class Plant. It is intended for 1st-3rd grade. Ideally, teachers would use this lesson at the beginning of the year so they can have their

In this lesson, K-2 students will plant seeds and use technology to track the growth of their plants. Through hands-on activities and observation, students will learn about the basic needs of plants

This 2nd grade lesson incorporate the book, We are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom, and Ozobots. Students will discuss the beginning and ending of the story and discuss how characters respond to

In studying science, we are limited by the bounds of our own senses when collecting data. By developing technology that allows us to enhance and extend our senses, we can study things we would not

This lesson is designed to uderstand the stages of mitosis by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) in the classroom. The students will be able to identify and describe the key events in each stage of

Students are guided through the urgency to create large scale plan solutions for climate mitigation and green energy fuel sources. They will then build and design a bioreactor using algae as a

Teachers don't talk trash, they talk COMPOST!! Compost is the best way to teach students the value of community as they create a Classroom Compost Program. In this 3-day introductory lesson, students

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

This hands-on lesson plan includes a lab that can be done to understand cell membrane properties. Students will provide evidence to support the claim that all biological systems demonstrate some

In this lesson, students use microscopes to find cells in the different stages of the cell cycle.

Students will grow two plants, one control and one with a manipulated independent variable. Throughout the time the plant grows students will monitor the plants and make observations. They will also

The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and

This lesson is about the effect of enzymes on the rate of chemical reactions in biological systems.

This lesson is designed to review key biology concepts with 9-10th grade students using hands-on activities with LEGO bricks. I usually implement this a week before our Final exams. Students will

Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.

DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the molecule of life. DNA exists in every single organism, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, and is the only known molecule that has the ability to
