  • Peas, Please! – A Practice Set on Mendelian Genetics

    Peas, Please! – A Practice Set on Mendelian Genetics

    Students practice assigning genotypes (PP, Pp, or pp) to different traits based on whether the trait is dominant or recessive. They set up Punnett squares, and determine the phenotypic ratios of the offspring.

  • The Genetics of Tortoiseshell and Calico Cats

    The Genetics of Tortoiseshell and Calico Cats

    Explore the genetics of tortoiseshell and calico cats with students. Includes worksheets for students to practice sex-linked genetic crosses.

  • Reinforcement:  Anatomy of the Human Heart

    Reinforcement: Anatomy of the Human Heart

    Practice worksheet on the anatomy of the heart that includes a word bank and fill-in section. Also includes a line drawing of the heart for labeling.

  • Practice Identifying the Phases of Meiosis

    Practice Identifying the Phases of Meiosis

    Practice and reinforcement of the phases of meiosis 1 and 2. Identify major events that happen in each phase and drag images into the correct position.

  • How to Teach the Muscles of the Human Body

    How to Teach the Muscles of the Human Body

    Resources for high school anatomy students to learn the major muscles of the body; includes slides, handouts, and links to quizzes.

  • Digestive System Drag and Drop with Quiz

    Digestive System Drag and Drop with Quiz

    Use Google slides to label the digestive system. This set was made for anatomy students to practice labeling the alimentary canal and biliary system.

  • Urinary System – Label the Kidney and Nephron

    Urinary System – Label the Kidney and Nephron

    I created this version of a labeling activity for students who are learning from home during the 2020 pandemic. You will not need to hand out papers with this version! Instead, students use their Chromebook to open Google Slides and drag the labels to the correct position. I usually assign this activity after students have…

  • Genetic Crosses in Rabbits (Remote)

    Genetic Crosses in Rabbits (Remote)

    Students learn how to do Punnett squares with two traits by practicing completing 4×4 squares.

  • Genetics Practice (Remote)

    Genetics Practice (Remote)

    This worksheet was modified from a popular (and long-standing) worksheet where students practice genetics crosses: Simple Genetics Practice Problems. This version was created for remote learning during the 2020 pandemic. It is similar to the printout students would normally use, but in the case, I used inserted tables in Google docs to set up the…

  • Brain Label (Remote)

    Brain Label (Remote)

    This brain labeling activity was created for remote learners as an alternative to the labeling and coloring worksheet we would traditionally do in class. Instead of coloring and labeling on printouts, students use google slides to drag labels to the images or type the answers into text boxes. The slides do not have labeled diagrams…

  • Neuroglia Labeling with Google Slides

    Neuroglia Labeling with Google Slides

    Save paper by assigning labeling worksheets on Google Classroom. Instead of writing in labels, students drag and drop the labels to the appropriate area on the image. The labeling focuses on the neuron and supporting neuroglia (or glial) cells. These cells provide provide physical and metabolic support to neurons. Neuroglia cells are different from nerve…

  • Photosynthesis Label

    Photosynthesis Label

    I designed for remote learning during the 2020 pandemic, though it is based off a similar photosynthesis worksheet that students would complete in class. Remote learning makes it more challenging for students to do labeling exercises since it can be difficult to annotate text without other apps installed. I made this labeling on Google slides…

  • Osmosis Practice with Slides

    Osmosis Practice with Slides

    Practice identifying hypotonic and hypertonic solutions and determining which direction water will flow with these slides. You can assign this activity on Google Classroom, and students can complete the activity on their own or in groups. The activity features 4 slides with cells in various solutions of glucose or glucose + sodium. Next to each…

  • Mitosis Drag & Drop

    Mitosis Drag & Drop

    If you have used the cell cycle label (mitosis) in class, this version will work for assigning on Google Classroom. The image of the cell cycle includes interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, plus several structures associated with the process. Students can drag the labels to the image on Google slides and then complete a…

  • Skeleton Label Using Slides

    Skeleton Label Using Slides

    Many students in health, anatomy, and biology classes learn the bones of the skeleton. To introduce the topic with my anatomy students, I usually lay random bones on the tables. Students guess where the bone is found in the body. Some are easy, like the femur. The scapula usually stumps them. It can be a…
