Embryology Matching Cards
This is an activity for "Embryology Matching Cards" which is very easily modified and adaptable. It is aligned to NGSS and very well-organized and ready to use. This activity is good for limited technology and all inclusive saving time for that busy teacher. Great hand-drawn graphics!
Review the stages of embryo development with beautifully hand-drawn pictures. Students place cards in order and match descriptions to cards. (c) 3 Frog Ladies 2012

Mardi Gras Internet Research
In preparing students for College and Career Readiness, they must be able to utilize two resources and demonstrate understanding of informational text to explain facts and inferences related to Mardi Gras. Although this is a French celebration, the process is cross curricular.
Bioethics Mini Poster Project
This time saving project will have researching and presenting topics in Biotechnology. Students must research opposing viewpoints of a bioethical topic and present them on a miniposter made from a file folder.

LS4.D: Biodiversity and HumansChanges in biodiversity can influence humans’ resources, such as food, energy, and medicines, as well as ecosystem services that humans rely on—for example, water purification and recycling. (secondary to MS-LS2-5)ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering ProblemsThe more precisely a design task’s criteria and constraints can be defined, the more likely it is that the designed solution will be successful. Specification of constraints includes consideration of scientific principles and other relevant knowledge that are likely to limit possible solutions. (MS-ETS1-1)ETS1.B: Developing Possible SolutionsA solution needs to be tested, and then modified on the basis of the test results, in order to improve it. (MS-ETS1-4)There are systematic processes for evaluating solutions with respect to how well they meet the criteria and constraints of a problem. (MS-ETS1-2), (MS-ETS1-3)Sometimes parts of different solutions can be combined to create a solution that is better than any of its predecessors. (MS-ETS1-3)Models of all kinds are important for testing solutions. (MS-ETS1-4)ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design SolutionAlthough one design may not perform the best across all tests, identifying the characteristics of the design that performed the best in each test can provide useful information for the redesign process—that is, some of those characteristics may be incorporated into the new design. (MS-ETS1-3)The iterative process of testing the most promising solutions and modifying what is proposed on the basis of the test results leads to greater refinement and ultimately to an optimal solution.
