In this unit, students explore science phenomena of the life forms that live on Earth, analyzing the cellular structures that make up complex organisms and figuring out how different groups of cells work together to keep the organism functioning properly. This page shows extracts from each part of this lesson.
In this unit, students compare the science phenomena of bacterial, plant, and animal cells, figuring out similarities among them all as well as differences. Students then conduct an experiment into how yeast cells extract energy from food molecules. This page highlights components of this lesson.
In this unit, students explore science phenomena related to life forms that live on Earth, analyzing the cellular structures that make up complex organisms and how different groups of cells work together to keep the organism functioning properly. In this lesson, students test the effect of sucrose concentration on the heart rate of daphnia, observing how different organ systems work together. This page provides a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students focus on the relationship between an organism’s cellular structure and the ability of the organism to access energy to carry out essential life functions. Students begin by examining prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells under the microscope and then compare organelles in plant and animal cells in this lesson. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students focus on the organisms that live on Earth’s surface, analyzing how living things are made of cells, which have certain requirements for survival, including food, water, and energy. In this lesson they explore the phenomena of cellular membranes. This page highlights key parts of this lesson.
In this unit, students focus on science phenomena related to the diversity of life, analyzing how scientists use the fossil record to tell of how life has evolved over time. In this lesson, students then compare the phenomena of cellular diversity in fungi, plant, and animal cells, exploring how similarities can be used to support evolutionary relationships. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.
In this unit, students focus on the structure and function of specialized cells, tissues, and organs in the phenomena of complex multicellular organisms, and they explore how the body processes information gathered by sensory receptors. In this lesson, they develop a model for a human organ system and then observe different human cells to understand how structure influences function. This page highlights each part of this lesson.
In this unit, students explore the phenomena of forest ecosystems, studying the science phenomena of interactions between living things and the environment. In this lesson, students investigate how plants carry out photosynthesis to convert the sun’s energy into a form of energy they can use to grow and develop. This page highlights key parts of this lesson.
