Spermatogenesis versus oogenesis: This lesson is designed to provide information and structure so that students can compare and contrast the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis. This lesson uses the KWL+ strategy to promote reading. The + used here is the Venn diagram.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science); By Norma Pattillo.

Termites, ink pens and pheromones: Students will investigate the behavior of termites to understand and use the scientific method.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science); By Jacki Clark.

What happens to plant cells in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?: Students will be using actual laboratory examples and classroom examples to understand the movement of molecules across the cell membrane. Looking at weight change in potato cells, color change in diffusion, and the shrinking of living tissue will allow the student to experience diffusion and osmosis.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science); By Tricia Kershner.

Genographic's legacy: Preservation and projections: In this Xpeditions lesson, one of a multi-part unit on the Genographic Project, students consider ways in which the project is impacted by scientific and technological advances, including those in life sciences, communications, and transportation.
