Description

Need some ideas for fun Biology lab experiments and activities to revitalize your classroom? Never taught a high school Biology course and don’t know where to start? These fun and easy labs are the perfect solution!

Topics covered include: characteristics of living things, macromolecules, enzymes, cells, mitosis, osmosis, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, DNA, genetics, protein synthesis, biotechnology, natural selection, evolution, ecology, and human impacts on the environment.

Save yourself TONS of time and also save 20% instead of purchasing the labs individually!

➤Please note: All of these labs are also included in my Full-Year Biology Curriculum.

Each lab or activity includes teacher directions, a materials list, student procedures, discussion questions, and an answer key.

These labs are thorough, well-planned, and have been implemented many times in my own classroom. I’ve used these activities with both public school classes and homeschool co-op classes because they cover all of the essential biology topics and use inexpensive materials.

➤New to Biology? Many of these labs have video demonstrations on my YouTube channel, so you can feel confident during class! The videos are also great for absent students or those participating virtually.
