Forensic Entomology Lab
Have you ever seen a fly buzzing around a leftover sandwich? Believe it or not, tiny insects like flies and beetles can be helpful clues in crime scene investigations! Forensic entomologists study insects found at a crime scene to help determine the time of death, the environment the body was in, and even if the body was moved. In today's lab, we'll become mini forensic entomologists and explore how insects can help us solve a whodunit!

Why Do Humans Need a Balanced Diet?
This document provides a fun way to review macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Students make a menu for their favorite athlete using a template that pushes them to explain their thinking. It also asks students to extrapolate the importance of these molecules for all living things from plants to bacteria. It can be used for 9th grade biology or for a nutrition course. There is both a standard version and an accommodated version with scaffolding for IEP and ELL students.
