A comprehensive unit exploring the biosphere, ecosystem stability, and human impact, designed for 9th-grade biology students.
An instructional sequence exploring cellular growth, cell division, and cellular energetics. Students investigate multicellular regrowth and regeneration (HS-LS1-4) and model the transformation of solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis (HS-LS1-5).
An in-depth lesson on protein synthesis and molecular inheritance (NGSS HS-LS1-1). Students model how DNA sequences determine mRNA codons and final amino acid chains to construct functional proteins that carry out vital cellular tasks.
An 'I-Learn' structured active assessment for HS-LS1-1. Features highly rigorous multiple-choice and multiple-select questions guiding students from DNA transcription to translation, protein folding mutations, and cellular specialization.
A comprehensive high school biology unit investigating the structure, function, and hierarchical organization of living systems, aligned to NGSS standards.
An inquiry-based lesson on cellular energy conversion (NGSS HS-LS1-5). Students investigate how chloroplasts capture and convert solar light energy into stored chemical energy (carbohydrates) through graphical and mathematical modeling.
A standalone 1-page active inquiry handout featuring a structured I-LEARN reading task for HS-LS1-5, guiding students through Investigate, Learn, Examine, Analyze, and Reflect multiple-choice questions about energy transduction in photosynthesis.
A comprehensive, 36-week General Biology curriculum aligned with Indiana Academic Standards, emphasizing the integration of biochemical foundations and metabolic homeostasis across all units.
An in-depth lesson exploring tissue regeneration in planaria and axolotls to address NGSS HS-LS1-4. Students engage with an 'I-Learn' style reading on stem cells, mitosis, and differentiation, followed by a scaffolded, data-focused quiz with guided scientific analysis.
An 'I-Learn' structured active reading guide focusing on the biological and energy conversion mechanisms of photosynthesis, specifically targeting how solar energy is converted into stored chemical energy (NGSS HS-LS1-5). Includes multiple-choice comprehension questions.
