A new twist on a dimensional analysis (factor/ label method). This activity is for after you have taught dimensional analysis. Students need to apply the skills they learned to see if they can escape in time to avoid the incoming zombies. You can have the students compete individually or in groups and which ever individual or group gets the six problems correctly answered first is the winner. There is a worksheet for the students, a Zombie Survival Fact sheet with some conversions. The students will need to use the information given to make their own conversion statements. I have included a teachers key with equivalency statements and how to solve the problems step by step. Student worksheet (3 pages) Zombie Key (1 page) Teacher Key (3 pages)

This is an interactive power point which goes over the physical and chemical characteristics of the atoms which make up elements, molecules, compounds and solutions. The power point prompts the students to create a foldable for them to draw and define elements, compounds, molecules and solutions. Be sure your class has a blank sheet of paper before starting and maybe even something to add color.

This is a black and white memory game focused on cells. Students need to match the picture and word with the definition. Cell organelles, states of osmosis, four eukaryotic kingdoms, two prokaryotic kingdoms and specialized cells are covered. There are 42 pairs for a total of 84 cards. You can make smaller games to best suit your class needs. It can also be used to make studying flashcards. 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. So I printed 7 sets. You can have the students compete within a single table or between groups. These are the pairs in the memory game: General Animal Cell General Plant Cell General Fungus Cell General Protist Cell (euglena) Nucleus Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Lysosome Peroxisome Ribosome Golgi Apparatus Flagella Cilia Microvilli Special Animal Cells (4 pairs) Animal and Plant Osmosis cells (6 pairs) Special Plant Cells (3 pairs) Special Fungus cells (2 pairs) Special Protist cells (3 pairs) Prokaryotes (2 pairs) Sex cells Endocytosis and exocytosis *All artwork is hand drawn by me and available in color or black & white in a separate listing. * I have a color cell memory game available in a separate listing.

This Genetic Engineering Worksheet covers PCR, chromosome painting, karyotypes, DNA fingerprinting, stem cells, recombinant DNA, and others. There are real examples of glowing animals, the regeneration of organs, BT corn and diabetes treatment. This worksheet set has the answer key included and can be used alone or with the Genetic Engineering Power point I have available in my store. You can purchase it as a bundle with the Genetic Engineering Power point too. Remember to leave feedback. Thanks :)

Plants Special topics describe plant adaptations, tropisms and hormones. The adaptations section goes over the specialized leaves, stems and protective adaptations. The tropisms cover how plants respond to water, light, tough and gravity. The various hormones are described in terms of how they affect the plants, fruit and leaves during various times of year.

The power point covers cell cycle, G0, G1, S, G2, and mitosis. There are slides for chromosomes, how mitosis is the driving force behind growth, development, regeneration and asexual reproduction. The power point also presents cancer and other disease causes by disrupted cell cycles.

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.

This is the power point, dichotomous key, answer sheet and answer key which covers desert plants. A variety of desert trees, cactus, wildflowers and landscaping specimens are included. I usually use this in class with my students paired up so they can work the dichotomous key together. Its an excellent activity for students who are not familiar with the desert ecosystem.

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.

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 lab safety and equipment. There are writing prompts for the lab safety procedures, equipment, MSDS, NFPA, behavior and dress. 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 30 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can edit the power point file to adjust the sentence requirements.

The DNA Processes Power Point covers DNA replication and protein synthesis: DNA transcription and translation. All important enzymes and nucleotides are covered. A summary of each process follows the full length explanations. Students will be able to explain the difference between DNA replication and Protein synthesis. Students will know where the processes take place, which organelles are involved and how the nucleotides translate. Students will also know how to translate codons into the appropriate amino acids.
