Biomolecules - Junk Food Virtual Case Study CER
This Case Study CER follows the 5E model to introduce your students to learning Biomolecules. Students will engage in drag and drop activities, explore case studies, and learn to read nutritional labels to help connect biomolecules to relatable experiences. Students will present their learning by providing a claim, recording evidence, and develop reasoning for their case study. An additional activity for a Flipgrid is also suggested to enhance their assessment.Includes:Teacher InstructionsInstru

Cancer Research Project - From Cells to Organ Systems
Students will utilize this outline to guide their research of either a type of cancer of their choice or a cancer topic given to them. Digitally, the guide helps students research information about the cancer topic - including determining what kind of cells, tissues, organ, and organ systems are most affected by the cancer. This is a great way to pull the "real life connection" and gain interest in learning the organization of life. Additionally, it helps students understand how cells, tissues,

Owl Pellet Ecosystem Analysis- Trophic Pyramid and Energy Flow
Kids typically say that they "did" owl pellets in middle school, but they rarely can come up with any understanding or explanation as to what they were doing or why.
This ecosystem lab is good for an advanced biology or environmental science class and takes owl pellet dissection to the level it should be. Students will dissect owl pellets and identify prey, but use that data (and some basic research) to reconstruct a trophic level pyramid and calculate energy flow in an ecosystem.
