Students take a class survey and see what traits dominate the class. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=403462 This is a lab and discussion activity that allows students to make a DNA "recipe" that they can then translate into a drawing of the phenotypic characteristics from the genotype of their organism. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=484047 Activity sheet for Digestive System. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=484039 Activity sheet for Nervous System. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=484042 Acivity sheet for Plant Anatomy. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=484036 Activity sheet for Respiratory System. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=406616 Here you can find various activities and lesson plans to help teach students about how animals and plants are able to adapt to a desert and its dry environment. It is an excellent tool for learning about the characteristics that living organisms have developed through-out time for the preservation of moisture and environment protection, and therefore being able to exist in extremely high temperatures. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=724305 Worksheets and practice problems for biology and genetics . Great for review http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=668695 Instructions on how to set up and guide students through a lab examining environmental effects of hatch rates on easy to raise brine shrimp.
