Here is an excellent video about how scientists map the human genome. Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Tissues, Organs, Organism, DNA, and genes, are keywords that are used in the video.
This video visually describes how cells use active and passive transport to get molecules into an individual cell. Osmosis, Dialysis, Facilitated Diffusion, Membrane, ATP, Protein Carrier, Iodine, Endocytosis, Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Lysosome, Exocytosis are key terms that are used in this video.
In this science lab, students will gain a pretty good understanding of what mass, volume, and density are. They will digitally change the volume of objects, weigh different object masses, and calculate the densities of each object. Students will use the computer and the Phet Simulation software to complete this lab.
This science lab can be used in any of the science disciplines because it is going to help students learn how to read a meter tape. Students will learn what the Magnus Effect is and how to demonstrate the Magnus Effect by "flying" a hollowed-out "Bic" pen across the classroom. Students will also learn how to create a spreadsheet and then add a formula that will automatically calculate the average of their pen flight distances. I use this lab at the beginning of the year to get students excited about science as well.
This video discusses symbiotic relationships. It does a great job detailing the relationships between symbiotic organisms, mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. As part of the discussion, the symbiotic relationship of the clownfish and sea anemone is explored.
This video discusses and demonstrates how levers are used to reduce the amount of work and energy required to lift something. This would be great to show your students during a lesson on levers in your physics classroom. Archimedes's work and experiments are discussed as well.
Students will answer 12 questions based on bar graphs and pictographs. Key phrases used are, how fewer, how many more, and what is the difference.
This website provides a tool for teachers and students to create base 10 block images. There are a wide variety of variables that users can change. Once finished with your image, you can save it for use on a worksheet or website.
I use this elementary math activity to reinforce the concept of fractions of items. In this case, the items or objects are the letters in their name. First students will write their first and last names inside a decorative border. Next, they count how many letters total, how many vowels and consonants their names contain, and how many letters are the same as the first letter in their names. They will then create fractions based on their answers. This is also an activity to subtly or not so subtly build self-esteem.
