Genetic Disorders goes over the DNA mutations and couples each of them with a disease that people are affected by. Point mutation frame shift mutation, chromosomal mutations and sex-linked mutations are all included. Diseases like sickle cell anemia, albinism and others are also discussed. Excellent for AP Biology and Genetics.
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.
Genetic expression is influenced by internal and external stimulus. After covering genetics this Quest power point is a great way to assess your students understanding of the two. There are fifteen authentic scenarios for students to discuss and determine the genetic expression cause. Some of the questions are historical. This is a good activity to follow up genetic expression to make sure your students understand the difference between internal and external stimulus. You can pair the students, use it as a flipped classroom assignment or turn it into a full class discussion. Answer sheet and key is included.
Quest power points ask the students questions. They do not present information instead the scenarios are designed to assess how well the students understand biological concepts.
This power point presentation can be done over a few days. It begins with the atom, chemical bonding and the elements of life (CHNOPS: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur). Then it goes over dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis followed by the four biomolecule groups. There is also a guided notes on CHNOPS that is a fill in blank for the first portion of the power point, the key is included. There is a biomolecules comparison chart for the second half of the power point. For the bonding portion of the power point, there is a "chemical bonding in biology" foldable. This can be put together like a brochure if you photocopy it front to back.
This power point question set has 25 slides where the students need to figure out what level of life is being described. Students can choose biomolecules, organelles, cells, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, or biosphere for their answers. It is a great way to get the students talking about what they learned in class and applying it to real life examples. I have the answer sheet and answer key included.
You can show the power point to the whole class or upload it to your classroom website and allow the students to work individually or pairs . Another option is to print the slides and have stations set up around the room for the students to visit and answer.

POWER POINT
The population genetics power point covers the mechanisms of how species evolve over time. It begins with an overview of Hardy-Weinberg and then delves into genetic flow, genetic drift, bottleneck effect, founder's effect, the types of selection, the types of isolation and the types of speciation.
The power point is filled with examples of the mechanisms and pictures, graphs and charts to help emphasize the concepts.
GRAPHIC ORGANIZER FOLD-OUT FOLDABLE
The population genetics graphic organizer prompts students to write about the mechanisms of how species evolve over time. It has compartments for Hardy-Weinberg and then delves into genetic flow, genetic drift, bottleneck effect, founder's effect, the types of selection, the types of isolation and the types of speciation.
There are visual prompts to help students remember the differences between the topics. Easily fits into a composition notebook or spiral ring notebook. Works great with interactive notebooks. A detailed teacher's key is included.
The concepts are heavy within population genetics so I would advise to chunk the information up into segments instead of teaching them all the way through in one day.
