The Human Genome Project - To Know Ourselves
Grades
9 to 12In the Classroom
The reading here is both dense and full of high-level vocabulary that almost limit its usage to that of an AP classroom. However, if your readers are able, this could be used in a class debate or discussion about current events in high-tech biology. You can always use a tool like Professor Word, reviewed here, which is a bookmarklet you use to highlight any word on the page to see it's definition.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Color Vision - How Does it Work?
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
The text portions may be challenging, so you should pair weaker readers with a partner as they read. Have students take notes on the material and write down questions they still have and topics that confuse them. They can do this with pen and paper or online. If you want the assignment online, explain to students they need to open a new tab in their browser window and take notes with a tool such as Webnote, reviewed here; tell students to be sure to save the URL to share their notes and questions with you and their peers. At the bottom of the page there are several topics labeled Read More About Seeing Color. Divide students into small groups to research and take notes for one or more of the topics. Then ask students to share what they learned by creating a simple infographic sharing their knowledge about seeing color using Visme, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Insect Records Catalog
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): insects (68)

Share the site on an interactive whiteboard or projector, and allow students to explore it in groups. What would be interesting is to see how many record holders were local insects. Have students create a digital record book, including images on a site such as Bookemon, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
