Encourage your students to explore the evolution of fur in rabbits via the changes in allele frequencies in subsequent generations with this simulation activity! The students will use the scientific method toformulate hypotheses and put them to the test. Ideal to teach dominant-recessive heredity of traits to 11-12th grade students. It is aligned with NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas: LS3A and B and LS4B and C, Crosscutting Concepts: Scientific Knowledge Assumes an Order and Consistency in Natural Systems and Science Practices: Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking. The activity consists of a teacher guide with the necessary theoretical background and step-by-step procedure and a students' worksheet that helps them develop their scientific thinking.

Engage your students with this educational scenario that will enable them to explore DNA structure and function through a series of suitably designed educational activities for use in the classroom/lab and during a visit to an interactive science and technology exhibition hall or a Science museum. My students were really enthusiastic about it and they even created their own materials and exhibits to explain DNA concepts! It is aligned with NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas: LS3A and B, Cross-Cutting Concept: Structure and Function and Science Practice: Developing and Using Models. It consists of the following materials: 1. DNA genetic material, overview of the scenario 2. DNA Initial questionnaire 3. DNA Introductory Slides 4. Length and Structure of DNA molecules 5. DNA exhibition worksheet 6. DNA assessment questions

This educational scenario is ideal for teaching Reproduction in Science courses (grades 7, 8 and 9). It covers all the major concepts with regards to reproduction via classroom, take-home, short-evaluation, lab and extension activities. My students have always demonstrated genuine interest in this topic and found the educational activities an exciting way to explore it in depth! It is aligned with NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas LS1.A. Structure and function (1-LS3-1.) LS1.B. Growth and Development of Organisms (3-LS1-1) and LS3. Inheritance and Variation of traits (3-LS3-2 and 3-LS4-2), with Crosscutting concepts: Patterns and Cause and Effect and Science Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data and Constructing Explanations and Finding Solutions. The educational scenario consists of: A teacher's guide Worksheet 1: Forms of reproduction Worksheet 2: Plant and animal reproduction Worksheet 3: Human reproduction

This educational scenario illustrates scientific concepts regarding evolution. It enables the students to actively explore evolutionary paradigms, work as scientists, develop professional skills for collecting, analyzing and interpreting data. It is suitable for grades 10-12. It is also aligned with NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas: LS4.A: Evidence of Common Ancestry and Diversity , LS4.B: Natural Selection, LS4.C: Adaptation, LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience, Science Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data, Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions, Engaging in Argument from Evidence and Crosscutting Concepts: Connections to Nature of Science. Educational materials in this resource: Evolution Teacher Guide Worksheet 1:The birds of paradise Worksheet 2:Evolution in action in the Congo river Worksheet 3:The evolution of elephants PowerPoint presentation: Evolution of elephants evaluation

Use this assessment activity to evaluate your student's knowledge and skills concerning organisms and their environment! Students will put their capabilities to the test regarding concepts such as food chains, webs and pyramids, ecological interactions and major environmental issues. It is suitable for 8 and 9th grade students. This activity is suggested as an one-hour assessment after teaching the relevant subject. The teacher should have installed the Microsoft mouse mischief plug-in on their PowerPoint software and made sure they have enough wireless mice for all the students' groups to use. My students' really enjoy this kind of assessment because it is competitive and fun! It is aligned with NGSS disciplinary Core Ideas: LS1C, LS2B and LS2C.
