ACT Science Practice Chromosomes and Inheritability Worksheet
I wrote this practice passage as like the ACT practice passages are for Science Section. I catered it towards my current unit in Biology on Genetics- specifically chromosomes, inheritability and meiosis. The answer key and some ACT Science tricks are included on the last pages. The blue star is only on the preview file. The original download file you get with purchase is simply the document without any stars on it.

Ectomy: a brain parts board game
Nine major brain regions, one set of forceps: how long will it take your students to put their brain together and win?Each student gets a blank brain map, but all of its parts are in a pool in the middle. Draw a card and answer the question correctly to win that brain part. What if you win two of the same lobes? Trade with other players to get a complete set as fast as you can! Watch out for the hazard cards, mixed into the pile, that force you to "-ectomy" a part and win it all over again.Sampl

Cell Analogy Project Enrichment Menu
Your download will include a Cell Analogy project enrichment menu. This menu was recently made for a 7th grade science teacher that I'm collaborating with. We decided that this menu would be a great way to provide enrichment for those higher level students working on the "Cell Analogy" Project. It also is an easy way to differentiate, as the lower level students can work on the 2 point items, the on level students can work on the 5 point items, and the higher level students can work on the 8

The Enzyme Game
Round out a biology unit on enzymes with this review game. 8 enzyme cards, 14 substances, and a spinner that directs all players to pick up, lay down, or trade a card. Players try to assemble three-card sets of enzyme, the substance it operates on, and the parts it breaks down into (for example, Amylase, Starch, Glucose). But here's the catch: players can only lay down their set of three when the pH and temperature are right. Separate spinners control these conditions.The game moves fast, becaus
The Blood Circulation Game
With a game board that's about 25 inches long, students can surround this human body diagram and watch tokens for sugar, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste get carried through vein and artery systems. It's a board game like no other.The board requires some assembly, since you will need to tape ten sheets of paper (card stock is best) to assemble the whole body. Color the venous and arterial systems blue and red, and insert a cut-out aorta and vena cava so that they form bridges through the heart's

Take three simple Bingo boards mounted in 3 dimensions using plastic straws and you have a model of the 3 main zones of the ocean biome: sunlight, twilight, and midnight zones. What lives in each one?This game takes more assembly than usual, so it's probably a craft for the kids to make, in a first step. You print out the pages on white or colored card stock, 3 per student. Each page provides a Bingo board and some sea creatures that the student can fasten onto that layer's squares. The patterns
