Scientific Method: Hypotheses, experiment design, variables, and conclusions.
Data Handling: Collecting, organizing, and interpreting data; graphing.
Microscope Use: Focusing, slide preparation, and magnification.
Scientific Tools: Measuring with rulers, balances, thermometers, and cylinders.
Lab Techniques: Wet mounts, staining, and safe specimen handling.
Experimental Design: Control groups, error analysis, and result validation.
Content-Specific Skills: Diffusion/osmosis, natural selection, biodiversity, and energy flow.
Making Connections: This lab focuses on understanding the relationships between different biological concepts and processes.
The Beaks of Finches: Through this activity, students explore natural selection and adaptation by simulating how finch beak variations affect survival.
Relationships and Biodiversity: This lab examines the importance of biodiversity and the interdependence of species within ecosystems.
Diffusion Through a Membrane: Students investigate the principles of diffusion and osmosis using model cells to understand membrane transport mechanisms.
“This method of Regents curriculum teaching is essential to our students.
This is the way teachers should be teaching!”
