This activity allows students to explore and reflect on circadian rhythms in themselves, influences of their lifestyle on those rhythms, investigate them in a scientific manner, and draw conclusions of their findings in a lab report format with data tables and graphs.A 2+ week take home lab activity with a lab report and graphs at the end. Can be used to explore the scientific method, physiological cycles, and how to share scientific knowledge.

Tissues and cells of root, stem, and leaf anatomy in both dicots and monocots are investigated in this learning activity.

This lesson focuses on the process of pollination. The learning objectives include learning the anatomy and physiology of flowers, the ecology of pollination, and a focus on plants as essential players in the natural world. There are no prerequisites for the lesson. The lesson will take 1½ hours, or 2 class periods or more -- depending on the areas teachers want to spend more time on or how far in depth they want their students to go. Materials needed are colored modeling clay, 8 or more assorted fresh flowers or pictures of flowers, preferably native to the local ecosystem. Dissecting microscopes or magnifying glasses are great for examining the fresh flowers, but not necessary. Additionally, pictures of different subjects/objects amongst plants are needed for the last activity. Activities for the breaks include assessing student knowledge of flowers by model building, and examining flowers to determine and distinguish between the pollination anatomy of different flowers.

 In this lesson, teachers will describe how puberty prepares human bodies for the potential to reproduce as well as the process of human reproduction with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation. Teachers should review information learned last class while going through slides and questioning the students on what they recall. Teachers explain to students that all of the changes they experience during puberty are due to a new surge of hormones that both females and males experience, often differently. Teachers will also discuss the process of human reproduction by describing the steps needed to conceive a baby. The last activity has students create a diagram of the steps of conception in the right order for teachers to assess what they have retained from the lesson. All mistakes should be reviewed and corrected by the teacher, and then end the lesson with an open-discussion for question.

This lesson explains reproduction to students using a PowerPoint presentation and includes a teacher’s resource with sample definitions and language that can be used. Students then receive cards and try to arrange themselves in the correct order of a 28-day menstrual cycle showing where sperm would need to be present in order for a pregnancy to occur as well as how methods of contraception can prevent pregnancy. The homework is watching a short video about pregnancy myths and answering questions on a worksheet.

Students will explore gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender stereotypes. Students will discuss such topics as a safe space, demonstrating respect, and making assumptions based on expression

Students will learn about respecting the gender expressions of themselves and others through short story scenarios. Students will collaborate and design alternate and respectful endings to the scenarios.

The purpose, components, and functions of the respiratory system are presented in this learning through disussion and visualizations. Participants learn about the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.

This site presents a history of efforts to understand the brain, a three-dimensional tour of the brain, optical illusions, and an animation showing how magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works. Video clips examine how the brain evolves and differs from infancy to childhood, adolescence, and through adulthood.

In this quick optics activity, learners use a dim point of light (a disassembled Mini MagLite and dowel set-up) to cast a shadow of the blood supply in their retina onto the retina itself. This allows learners to see the blood supply of their retina and even their blind spot. Learners are encouraged to wear eye protection.

The Sex Ed Open Learning Project User Guide provides background information and tips for navigating the collection.

We begin by defining sex, communicating to students that sexual contact can come in diverse forms, all of which require consent. Students learn about sexual reproduction as well as alternative modes of conception/family planning. Students end the lesson learning about contraception methods and the variety of ways they can choose to use to prevent pregnancy.

In this video we look the appendicular skeleton in general and the shoulder girdle.
