The Electrophoresis of Human Hemoglobin
Students analyze different types of hemoglobin. They use the technique of agarose gel electrophoresis to separate human hemoglobin molecules according to their electrical charge, size, and/or shape. Students relate the migration of...
Curated OER
E.coli and their Human Environment
Students observe how environmental changes (antibiotics) can affect the growth of E.coli, the rod shaped intestinal bacterium. They use the "F" test for statistical analysis. Students
Curated OER
Lotic Environment Lesson Plans
Learners create and conduct experiments on a "classroom river habitat." They manipulate the biotic and abiotic factors so that they are able to compare an artificially prepared river model to a naturally occurring lotic ecosystem.

The Arctic and Taiga Ecozone of Canada
Young scholars examine the various sub-regions of the Arctic and Taiga zones in Canada. Using the online Canadian Atlas, they locate and describe the characteristics of each zone. They organize their information into a chart and share...
Curated OER
Field Of Beans
Pupils investigate the concept of crop farming. They plant small fields to test different theories of agriculture. Students keep care over the fields, including pest and weed control. Pupils make and record daily observations to measure...
Curated OER
Aphids and Ladybirds
High schoolers record observations of ladybird beetles and aphids. They develop questions concerning the behavior of ladybird beetles and aphids that are testable by a classroom experimentation. Students develop an investigation.
Curated OER
Forest Management
Students explore the changes in the Sequoia forest ecosystem. They evaluate reasons for the changes and discuss opposing views of human activity, logging and fire management practices. Students observe a video, describe the location of...
Curated OER
Migration
Young scholars explore migration using the Internet and several pre-chosen websites. In this animal migration lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab activity.
