Transcription and Translation Model Activity
NEW and IMPROVED! I updated the previous version of this activity to make it more user friendly. This updated version should take about 1-1.5 hours to complete.
I really like this activity and am quite proud to share it with the TpT community. This is a paper model activity where students will be guided through the steps of transcription and translation and then also learn about mutations. Students first begin by cutting and gluing paper strips of DNA. Then, they will transcribe the DNA into mR

Conservation of Momentum Lab Series using Marbles
This listing features two labs about the conservation of momentum using marbles. I facilitate this activity series on successive days in my eighth-grade physical science class. This lab set aligns with our unit about Newton’s three laws. In the first lab activity, students determine if there is a positive correlation between the number of marbles released down the ruler ramp and the number of stationary marbles ejected upon impact on the bottom, flat portion of the track. In the second lab activ

What is in the Sky? A Nature of Science Modern Mystery of Social Media and Bias!
Have your students embark on this modern mystery where they are challenged to identify examples of bias found in social media! This activity, based on true events, begins when several people spot an unknown object in the sky above a tornado ravaged city in Ohio. Cell phone-armed citizens begin taking pictures of the object before sending them to the local weatherman for answers. Ten eyewitnesses debate their inferences regarding the object's identity until the sun sets and they are left with no

Sex-Linked Inheritance Interactive Tutorial and Punnett Squares
Genetics is at the heart of modern biology. This tutorial will guide students through the sex-linked inheritance (X-linked recessive) pattern. The tutorial begins with a review of Mendelian genetics and then proceeds into the rules and patterns of X-linked inheritance. Along the way, students will meet 3 fictional families, each with a different history of a sex-linked disorder. Students will guide the families through genetic counseling and reveal the likelihood that each couple could pass on t

Meiosis in Human Cells PowerPoint Animation
New and Improved!
This animation has literally been years in the making. The previous version was nice but it always bothered me that it did not include crossing over, which is a major stage of meiosis.
This updated meiosis animation follows a diploid human cell as it undergoes meiosis in order to make 4 haploid cells. Other online meiosis animations will typically show a cell with only a few chromosomes undergo meiosis. This animation shows a cell with 46 chromosomes undergo meiosis! This wa

Best Weathering, Erosion, Deposition Model Ever- Inexpensive w/ writing piece
I can not begin to tell you how much I love using this model in my class. It demonstrates weathering, erosion, and deposition (without the use of stations, water, or sand!) at a minimal cost. It is a hands-on model that takes very little class time and just a small amount of teacher monitoring. The model runs for 3-5 days using just a few minutes of class time at the beginning of each day. After the model has run, the students write a paragraph explaining the model.
