In this activity, students learn to recognize and describe the characteristics of living organisms. Students view several different short videos and complete a worksheet identifying the characteristics of life observed in each video.

In the microscope imaging station (see link in the Example Web Site above), you will introduce students to unique life science activities that let them work with research-quality microscopic images and videos. In the Flipbooks section, you can use printable images from the time-lapse movies to make flipbooks (handheld animations that students can make at home).

In this activity, students explore genetic inheritance patterns in the fruit fly using Punnett squares to predict the results of genetic crosses and determine the genotypes of the parent flies in a particular cross.

In this activity, students use printable images from a time-lapse movie to make flipbooks—handheld animations. This series of images depicts the process of mitosis in the early embryo of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In this stage of Drosophila development, the nuclei divide very rapidly without cell division, and the divisions are synchronized. The mitosis shown took about 10 minutes from start to finish.

In this activity, students research text, pictures, and comments about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in preparation for a mock trial simulating the real one that followed the assassination in 1865. This site, which is about the assassination of President Lincoln, was created by the American history teacher, Roger Norton. He used this site to do mock trials with his students simulating the real one that followed the assassination in 1865.

In this activity, students are introduced to the connection between education attainment and earning potential. Students participate in a classroom activity where they develop a budget according to a given scenario.
