This power point has 16 symbiotic scenarios. The students are to read each slide and analyze the pictures in order to choose which symbiotic level is depicted. The fours symbiotic relationships presented are endosymbiosis, commensalism, predation, parasitism and mutualism. I usually have my students work with a partner. It is a lot of fun to hear them talk about each situation using educational dialogue. This is an excellent follow up activity after the Symbiosis Power point to make sure the students understand the difference relationships.

Taxonomy is a system of classification used by scientists to organize organisms. The power point goes over the taxonomic levels and the main groups. Students will know the levels of taxonomy and the characteristics of the main groups. A brief review of viruses is included for comparison so students can see how viruses are not living.

This power point explains the flow of energy through an environment. It discusses how sunlight is converted during photosynthesis and how organisms then use cellular respiration. Trophic levels, energy pyramid, food chains and food webs are all covered. Students will be able to identify which trophic level an organisms belongs in and understand how the cellular process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow energy to flow through an environment.

Gene Regulation can be one of the most confusing concepts to each secondary science and college level biology classes. This power point breaks both prokaryotic and eukaryotic regulation down into simple terms that can be easily understood. The last slide asks the students to create a contrasting chart to write the differences of gene regulation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Topics: Prokaryotic regulation Lac Operon Repressor Operator Eukaryotic regulation Transcription complex Repressor Histones RNA polymerase TATA Box

This Animal kingdom power point not only covers main characteristics of animals but also allows students to see how marching through the animal kingdom can give insight into how the kingdom evolved.

A edgy take on lab safety and equipment review. Many times we repeat the same lab safety and equipment reviews every year. Make it creepy with the Asylum Lab Safety and Equipment Memory game. The students will need to match 25 pairs of cards. One card has a description and the students need to match it with a picture or explanation. The game allows the students to continuously review lab safety and equipment while having fun and being competitive. The cards are square and saved as a pdf. By adjusting your page count per printed page you can adjust the size of your cards. I suggest laminating them and keeping them year after year. I use one set per lab table. You can have the students compete within a single table or between groups.

It is important to promote writing across the disciplines. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with writing prompts. These task cards are specific to secondary science and they cover biochemistry. There are writing prompts for the four biomolecule groups, enzymes, water and the elements that make up life. I have included the prompts in the power point format and pdf file format so you can choose which file you would like to use. By adjusting the page settings during printing you can print 6 or 8 prompts per page. This activity can be used as a bell ringer, pop quiz or closing. It is a good exercise to make the brief students write longer and the novel writers write shorter answers. There are 35 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can edit the power point file to adjust the sentence requirements.
