Test My Genes Lab: Students Use Their Traits to Practice Punnett Squares - NGSS
In Brief: The lab proceeds as follows1. Students complete a short matching section using important genetics terms2. Students read about five different human traits (Interlacing of fingers, PTC tasting, Presence of Palmaris Longus Muscle, Hair Texture, and Color Vision)3. Students attempt to determine their genotpyes, based upon their phenotypes, and the information in the lab.4. Students perform Punnett Squares using their genotypes, in order to make predictions about future generationsA. NEXT

Virtual Human Brain Dissection
This is a virtual dissection alternative that allows students to dissect a 3D human brain, record observations, answer analysis questions on the observations and label a sheep's brain with the synonymous human brain structures. The analysis questions are mixed formats between direct questions and critical thinking concluding questions. This activity can be completed completely online or printed out for in-person instruction. It is meant to serve as an alternative method to performing a dissectio

Crime Scene DNA Fingerprinting Lab with Key for Bar Codes
This is one of my favorite activities! The students really have a lot of fun with this lesson. After a brief talk about how the DNA in each of us is different, I relate that to how each food item has a different bar code as well. I use bar codes (DNA samples) and place them around my room on various objects. The students have to match the DNA sample (bar code) with the bar codes on their paper to see which perpetrator was at that particular crime scene. You can change the names on the bar code s

DNA on the Floor- General Bio DNA Replication Modeling (Best Seller)
**This got a huge update on 5/31/23.**Several years ago, I found this activity on a teacher’s blog. There were no instructions- just a few pictures of the process- and I created these instructions on my own from there. I’ve since modified the process to work for my classes.I NEVER skip this activity- it helps students have those “lightbulb” moments that make replication click. Understanding the lagging strand can be very challenging, and I find that this activity makes it so much more accessible

Symbiosis Activity/ Simulation & Limiting Factors
This original activity may be used as an introduction or review of
Symbiotic Relationships and Limiting Factors.
In this activity, students will be paired together with a partner to simulate several types of symbiotic relationships. Organisms (students) will try to fulfill their requirements for life: food, water, living space, and shelter (limiting factors). The scoring system for each symbiotic relationship is different to simulate the benefits and deterrents of each relationship. Points

Action Potential Neuron Activity
Using the free PhET simulation, this activity helps guide students through the process of an action potential by focusing on the membrane of a neuron. This lab would be most appropriate for an high school Biology or Anatomy and Physiology course. The directions are geared towards students completing the assignment independently, however this could also be projected on a board and completed as a class too! The document is an editable word doc.

Digestive System Station Lab
This is a digestion system lab I created consisting of seven different stations. Students travel in pairs of small groups (I would suggest no larger than 4) to each of the labs where they are able to examine different components of the digestive system, including:
- How amylase (and enzymes in general) work
- How substrates and enzymes are specific on one another
- How the muscles of the stomach work to breakdown food
- What chemicals are found in the food that assist in digestion
- How pH
