Students create a science model. The model should be based on a scientific concept that is based on a topic of osmosis, diffusion, facilitate diffusion and active transport (sodium potassium pump). Students will include specific molecules for each mode of transport.

At the end of the unit students will will create a song that incorporates all the cell organelles. Students will be assessed on how well they understand the cell cycle and if they included all cell organelles, and understand each organelles function.

Students are to model their ecosystem. The project should include the succession of an ecosystem, the flow of energy through a food web, and the flow of nutrients through the water, carbon, phosphorous, and nitrogen cycles. The project should also include how humans activities impact the cycles. The following terms must be included: species richness and species diversity, resources partitioning, biomass, bioaccummulation, pioneer species, keystone species.

Research the effects of antifreeze on body systems. Submit a 2+ page typed paper, double spaced, 12 point font following APA guidelines. Include a bibliography citing at least 3 resources used researching the paper. Paper will be graded on quality of research to support the topic, effective use of information gained through research, credibility of sources, content, grammar and mechanics, and bibliography. Must describe the effects on at least three body systems.

You are creating a poster, presentation or imovie on a randomly selected genetic disorder. Please present your information as if I have no idea about this genetic disorder. Please be sure to answer all questions in order to ensure enough information about the genetic disorder that you have chosen.

You are creating a brochure on a selected genetic disorder. Please present your information as if I have no idea about this genetic disorder. Please be sure to answer all questions in order to ensure enough information about the genetic disorder that you have chosen.

Students design an imaginary organism to show patterns of inheritance in several chosen traits. The traits must include examples of complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles for a trait, and epistasis. Students will demonstrate understanding through visual description of phenotypes, explanation of inheritance, and description of a habitat/environment where the organism is well-adapted for living.

Students will create a food web consisting of organisms found in a specific ecosytem that they choose. Each student must name the organisms, identify the abiotic and biotic factors in the habitat, show the flow of energy in the food web, classify the organism as producer, consumer (primary, secondary, or tertiary), or decomposer; and indicate human impact in that ecosystem.
