    Lab
    In this introductory acids and bases lab, students will determine the pH of common household acids and bases and transfer their knowledge about acids and bases to the human body's homeostasis. This lab is an easy hands-on biochemistry lesson to introduce homeostasis to students.

    Lab
    In this DNA modeling lab, students build a paper model of the double helix. Students label the DNA molecule with the four DNA nucleotides and practice nitrogen base paring. At the end of class, students can attach all the models and twist and coil them to simulate super coiling.

    Lab
    In this activity students shift to following a pulse of 500 carbon atoms through all the carbon pools in an ecosystem, considering the carbon transforming processes (eating, digestion, biosynthesis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration and death/defecation) that move atoms from one pool to another. They see how the pattern they observed in Lesson 2—the organic matter pyramid—emerges from these carbon-transforming processes.

    Tree Octopus
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    A website that tries to convince people that there are tree octopi. A great website to teach a lesson on how to evaluate what students read, research multiple sources when gathering data, and that when an observation does not agree with an accepted scientific theory, the observation is sometimes fraudulent. Use of the computer lab or classroom computers with Internet access is needed for students to read all about the tree octopus.
