This resource from the Association for Science Education contains active work for students linking ideas about the nature of science and its implications to practical laboratory exercises. Units encourage students to be creative in designing and carrying out experimental work. The units include the use of secondary...

This is a worksheet activity to help students to understand how Huntington’s disease (HD) is inherited and to appreciate why some people choose to use pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to avoid passing the condition on.

This activity, from Shirley Fall, requires students to use and interpret function notation, sketch graphs using key points, explore the common transformations of translate parallel to the y axis, translate parallel to the x axis, stretch parallel to the y axis from the...

This Catalyst article looks at volcanic activity that generates earth tremors. It talks about seismologists that measure these tremors in an attempt to predict future eruptions.
