Make your classroom electrifying with activities and information spanning chemistry and physics content. Everything from equilibrium to electricity and reactions to rocketry at your fingertips.
It’s all about the interactions among land, water, living organisms, the atmosphere, and beyond. Mine activities, information, and helpful hints for ESS.
Teach a class like forensic science where you have to apply physics, chemistry, and biology content? We have interdisciplinary activities and tips to help.
Brush up on the latest instructional strategies and pedagogy with information from our teaching partners, instructional designers, and academic consultants.
Survival: Sow Bug BehaviorIn this investigation, observe how sow bugs change their behavior when the dampness in their environment decreases. For grade 3. View »
Introduction to Protista: EuglenaEuglena was once studied as a simple animal by zoologists and as a simple plant by botanists. How does this protist combine some characteristics of animals with the plant-like ability to photosynthesize? View »
Introduction to HydraThis lab introduces students to Phylum Cnidaria. The activity also serves as an introduction to animals. View »
Introduction to Phenotypes with Wisconsin Fast Plants®In this lab, students germinate seeds of Wisconsin Fast Plants and examine the plants that grow from them for differences in appearance. This introductory-level activity can be used as a pre-lab to a unit on Mendelian genetics, and assumes that students are familiar with the terms genotype, phenotype, and allele. View »
Carolina LabSheets™: Seedling Genetics (Sorghum)Students study F2 seedlings to discover how a color phenotype is inherited in sorghum. They can study a cross involving green and albino plants or, alternatively, a cross involving red and green plants. View »
Gene Interaction with DrosophilaHow do genes interact in the inheritance of traits? Find out in this intriguing study of the inheritance of eye color in Drosophila. View »
Lumbriculus: Contraction Rate of the Dorsal Blood VesselIn this introductory physiology lab, students determine the contraction rate of the dorsal blood vessel of the blackworm Lumbriculus. Students then design and conduct an experiment to determine the effect of temperature change or chemical exposure on the contraction rate. View »

Two-Point Linkage with Drosophila
In this lab students explore the genetic consequences of gene linkage using an F1 cross of Drosophila. View »
Meiosis and Genetics
In this lab, students investigate how the events of meiosis relate to Mendelian genetics. View »
Introduction to Prokaryotes: Cyanobacteria
In this lab students observe two examples of cyanobacteria and make a simple comparison to a eukaryotic green alga. View »
Which Leaf Shape Can Hold the Most Butterfly Eggs?
In this elementary-level activity, students investigate the relationship between leaf shape and the number of butterfly eggs that can be laid on a leaf (grades K–5). View »
