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.
Make a Hay InfusionHay infusions are widely used as a source of microorganisms for studying decomposition, fermentation, and disease. And preparing one is easy--simply soak fresh or dried plant material in water. View »
Daphnia Heart RateIn this introductory physiology lab, students determine the heart rate of Daphnia magna and then test the effect of changing temperature on the heart rate. View »
Bioluminescence ExplainedLearn how bioluminescent organisms produce light, and explore the evolution behind this fascinating concept of biology. It’s more brilliant than you think . . . View »
Maggot Michelangelos: Using Artwork to Gain Behavioral InsightIn this activity, students use house fly larvae to answer morphological and behavioral questions—all while creating unique artwork! Students create and test hypotheses, and learn about the complete metamorphosis life cycle. View »
Introductory Genetics with DrosophilaUse this LabSheet with a variety of our Drosophila cultures and sets for introductory labs covering monohybrid, dihybrid, and sex-linked crosses. View »
What’s the Genotype?In this lab students are introduced to the testcross and its use in revealing whether an organism is homozygous or heterozygous for a trait. View »
Introduction to Drosophila: PhenotypesIn this lab students compare phenotypes of mutant Drosophila to wild type. The activity is intended as a student’s first experience working with Drosophila. View »
Genetics with Drosophila F1 Crosses: Sex-LinkageDrosophila genetics labs without the the need to select virgin female flies for crosses. We ship F1 flies so your students need only to set them up in fresh vials to produce an F2. View »
