Hormone-Induced Plant Propagation Lab using Carrot Root Cultures
Young scholars evaluate the importance of hormones in living things. In this biology lesson, students experiment on carrots to differentiate how humans and plants reproduce. They collect data from experiment to answer analysis questions.
Curated OER
DNA Extraction From Living Things
Students extract DNA from split peas. In this biology instructional activity, students hypothesize what DNA looks like and perform the experiment to verify their hypothesis. They explain the importance of DNA in living things.
Curated OER
Melting and Freezing of Water
Students differentiate the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze graphs of heating and cooling curve of water. They complete a lab report and discuss results.
Curated OER
Avogadro's Law
Young scholars study Avogadro's law and what it means in science. In this gaseous instructional activity students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.
