Biology labs

These are the best biology labs for high school credit at home I have ever seen! Students do the experiments at home for some hands-on learning while they watch the online video demonstration and explanation. Homeschool science can be real science!

I’m excited to share with you an EASY PEASY way for students to see osmosis in plant cells! In the past, I always used elodea leaves for this lab. Elodea can be hard to find at pet stores and is a little temperamental to keep alive. This year I decided to use onion skin from ... Read more

This Homer-o-stasis lab is the best lab for teaching homeostasis to your Biology students. Check it out on my latest blog post!

Let's be honest - there is only so much we can learn in our undergraduate courses, student teaching experiences, and alternative certification programs. At the end of the day, so much that I've learned about being a teacher, and teaching biology specifically, has been through trial and error. If we want to get fancy, we can call it "action research" in my own classroom, like my graduate professors referred to it.

We provide resources that are:

Macromolecules lab to help take the abstract concepts of biomolecules and connect them to real world application.

Would you like to incorporate more plant experiments for your Biology lesson plans? We’ve got some great plant lab ideas that will fit into you course standards, including the Next Generation High School Life Science Standards. Included activities: Plant anatomy labs, plant cell lab, photosynthesis lab, leaf chromatography lab, forestry & biodiversity activities, plant cladogram activity. We hope these resources help you, many are free and virtual.

One of my favorite parts of the cell unit is teaching about membranes. If you ask me, they are by far the most important part of the cell. Everything the cell does is because it is responding to signals received by the membrane. While many students think the nucleus is in charge, it is in ... Read more
