Endangered Species Ecology Project | Human Impact on the Environment
In this in-depth Endangered Species Project, students investigate the culture of a people group living near a chosen Endangered Species, and create a campaign to save that species. The project is a great end-of-year or end-of-unit assignment for Ecology. Laws and regulations for protecting endangered species are needed, but do not always work if the community is not on board. But if a community has PRIDE in their native species, they will be motivated to save the species, and to protect the habi

Genetic Condition Brochure Project (Gene Mutations)
Are you teaching genetics with your middle school students? This project is a great research extension project for any genetics unit. Have each student research and report on one genetic condition that arises from a genetic mutation. This project has the students designing their own brochures and presenting their findings to their peers. (The project sheet gives a short description of the importance of genes and mutations, but assumes some background on what genes are/do)

NGSS Cells PBL (Project Based Learning) FULL Unit Plan
This unit plan is a Project Based Learning (PBL) unit for teachers to use to introduce the topic of cells, cell types, organelles, cell size, and cell diversity.
In this unit, students will be assigned a task and they must work together as a group to engineer a cell to accomplish said task. The end product is a cell model, detailed poster, or CAD design. Teachers will facilitate learning during the unit by providing students structured mini-lessons and activites.

AP Biology: Teaching Students how to Respond to Free Response Questions
On the AP Biology exam students will be asked to respond to 6 Free Response Questions (their responses on this section will represent 50% of the points earned on the exam). There are certain skills they need to be successful on this portion of the exam. A few of these skills include reading the prompt carefully and responding in a clear, specific manner. Because my own students have had very little practice with technical writing when they join my course in the fall, I like to start with the bas

Human Body System Project
This 2-3 class period activity focuses on students researching one body system of their choice. This free choice project is an engaging way to enter into the study of the human body. The purpose of this activity is for students to understand that every system in our body has a structure and a function. All of the parts of the system help the system function properly. Another important part of this project is to have students make connections between systems in the body that are interdependent. N
Integumentary System Disorder Poster Project
This is an excellent project for your high school students to explore an integumentary system disorder of their choice! Students choose a disorder and research the causes, symptoms, current treatments, and the impact that it has on an individual's quality of life. I like to require my students to create a scientific poster and present to peers in a poster session similar to research posters presented at a conference. My students love learning more about skin disorders and being able to share wha

Genetic Disorder Presentation (PPnt & Presentation...Rubric & Explanation)
This is such a great research project after students have learned about genetics, DNA, and mutations. It ties in all of the curriculum and makes it real life. The students love diving into the the "medical worlds" and gives them a sense of professionalism as they present. This comes with an Excel spreadsheet that I couldn't attach to this, so its a free resource on my shop. It has list of genetic disorders that students can choose from. I draw names and let the students pick so it is fair. *Edit

I tried to make the rubric general enough that it could be used for any HOSA event that includes 2 or more members.

Ecological Succession Lab - Micro Organisms in a Bottle
Our environment tends to remain constant so long as it is not disturbed. However, what happens when either a new habitat forms or a disturbance occurs? Ecological succession is nature’s attempt to make a habitat that is diversify or repair a damaged habitat. But what are the different types of succession?
Primary succession usually occurs after the formation of a new, unoccupied habitat. While, secondary succession usually occurs after the some form of disturbance to an existing community. A co

The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology revolves around the expression of genes into a workable protein. This activity will allow you to show how the genes present in an individual's genotype can affect the phenotype.Genes are the units that determine inherited characteristics such as hair color and blood type. Genes are segments of DNA molecules that determine the structure of protein that our cells make. The sequence of nitrogen bases (“letters”) in the nucleotides determines the sequence of am
