PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 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 Genetic disorders and mutations. The questions cover DNA mutations, diseases, causes of mutations, and evolutionary impact of mutations. 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 32 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can adjust the pages per sheet setting to print multiple cards per sheets of paper. This activity is a great follow up to Genetic Disorders: Mistakes in the DNA code, DNA mutations Power Point and Worksheets

The Cell Transport Processes covered in these worksheets are diffusion, passive transport, osmosis: hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis. The worksheets also covers homeostasis and what basic elements a cells needs to have in order to maintain homeostasis. A key is included.

This graphic organizer for interactive notebook covers plant adaptations, tropisms and hormones. The adaptations section goes over the specialized leaves, stems, seeds, protective adaptations, roots, light and water capturing adaptations. The tropisms cover how plants respond to water (hydrotropism), light (phototropism), touch (thigmotropism) and gravity (gravitropism). The phytohormones such as auxin, gibberellin, zeatin, cytokinin, abscisic acid and ethylene are included. The graphic Organizer fold-out foldable has multiple areas for students to record notes. This graphic organizer can be completed alongside the power points, or they can use their textbooks or it can be turned into a web-quest.

This is an introductory power point into DNA It goes over DNA's history, scientists involved and it's basic structure nucleotides and importance of hydrogen bonding. Students will know the components of a nucleotide how they bond together to create DNA and write a complimentary DNA strand. Students will also learn the history of DNA's discovery.

The RNA Power point chronologically presents the properties of RNA as they were discovered. The differences of the structure of ribose and deoxyribose and the differences between DNA and RNA nucleotides. Students will learn how to transcribe DNA into RNA and the function of the three types of RNA: messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA. Excellent introductory lessons for DNA processes, DNA replication, and protein synthesis.

The characteristics are also covered; symmetry, tissue layers, embryonic development, body cavities, body structure, vertebrates, body systems. This chart goes along well with the Animal Kingdom power point or you can purchase it as bundle with the Animal Kingdom Power Point. It is excellent for secondary and college level Biology courses. The answer key is included in the file.

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 cells. There are writing prompts for the prokaryotes, eukaryotes, viruses, cell membrane, organelles, cellular processes, and osmosis. 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 more / less 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 42 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can edit the power point file to adjust the sentence requirements.

Coloring pages have recently become a huge hit all over the world. In my new series of word wall coloring pages, you can bring the excitement of coloring into your middle school and high school science classrooms. This set includes the words: symbiosis, endosymbiosis, mutualism, commensalism, predation, and parasitism. Word Walls are an instructional tool used primarily in the elementary classroom. While teaching in Texas my administrators decided they wanted secondary teachers to use the tool as well. It was a great success on many levels. Students took time learning about their word and creating a design for it. I always displayed all the words and the students took great pride in seeing their work displayed. The students also enjoyed looking at each other’s work. I noticed over time that my students would frequently look at the wall while we working. Especially during pop quizzes or bell work. The word wall truly helped my students to remember their vocabulary words and seeing them displayed all the time in class made it easier for them to refresh their memory when necessary. Each word wall poster has a word wall art graphic that students can color. There is a designated box to write the scientific definitions, synonyms or examples, antonyms or nonexamples and space to write a sentence using the word. I developed word wall coloring pages for my students who struggled with what to draw and write when working on word walls. I always offer a blank template for my self-motivated artists, but the coloring pages allowed my students who struggle with a means for creating a beautiful piece of word wall art as well. My favorite way to use word walls includes after a test, to introduce new vocabulary in a relaxing format, sub work or as extra credit. They are also a fun way to revisit words student’s struggle with. In your file, you will receive the word wall word/words you purchased plus the blank template. Please feel free to tag me on Instagram (@MizzzFostersClass) to show off your students’ work.

The Cell Transport Processes covered in this power point are diffusion, passive transport, osmosis: hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis. The power point also covers homeostasis and what basic elements a cells needs to have in order to maintain homeostasis. I included a printable homeostasis chart that is displayed int he power point.

This graphic organizer fold out foldable first prompts the students to define vocabulary specific to meiosis. Next the students go over crossing over using terms such as sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, synapsis, tetrad, chiasmata. If you teach AP Biology it is great for review. The detailed meiotic steps also discuss what is happening with the quantity of genetic material and each phase of meiosis is detailed.

A worksheet packet for students to write, describe and draw eukaryotic organelles. Students can use nearly any textbook or website to fill out the basic packet. This a great packet for homework, subwork or as a prelesson.

Cell membrane power point. Goes over the main function of the cell membrane and its components such as peripheral proteins, glycocalyx, integral proteins, bilipid layer, cholesterol, etc. Students will understand the components of the cell membrane, how it is built from a mosaic of biomolecules and how it allowed life to begin.
