- By Jennifer Elmo.
- Heaven or Groundhog Day?
- This unit is designed to appeal to adolescents with its non-print text base, the movie Groundhog Day. The pre-viewing activities prepare students for the allusions in the movie and include cultural literacy. The teacher can pick and choose from the activities to apply the concept of personal growth.

- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Development and Science)
- By Anya Childs and Rhonda Garrett.
- Homerun hoopla
- This lesson is designed for students to gather and analyze data about baseball figures.

- How to make a linkage map based on phenotype of offspring
- In Restoring the American chestnut, page 5
- The approximate distance of two genes that are located near each other on the same chromosome can be determined by observing the phenotype of the offspring and calculating how the results differ from the expected Mendelian cross. This lesson walks students through those calculations and shows how to make a linkage map of three traits on the same chromosome. It uses actual traits found in American chestnut trees to teach this concept.
