The Power Pack includes:
- Double (helix) the fun with this DNA activity
This hands-on activity uses common household supplies to teach students a technique for extracting the genetic code that makes them who they are—a skill they'll want to under-STRAND. - How to teach osmosis and diffusion with agar cubes – a free activity
Students can use cubes of agar in this activity to model how diffusion occurs in cells and investigate how size impacts diffusion. - When fleas take energy drinks: a biology activity
Students calculate the heart rate of the water flea Daphnia as it’s exposed to the ingredients of an energy drink, compared to a control. - How to make your own algae beads and have a ball studying photosynthesis
Helps students understand the most important biochemical processes for life on Earth with the help of home-grown algae and a Bicarbonate Indicator solution.
These biology resources are the perfect way to support your lesson plans and make learning exciting for your students.
