- Description
- In this activity, students investigate the fascinating and complex process of decomposition and lay the foundation for deeper understanding of concepts related to matter and energy transfer in ecosystems. Through exploration and discussion, students go beyond simple definitions. Instead, students discover key characteristics of decomposition as they struggle with creating a sequence for decomposing wood and leaves. They learn the difference between physical decomposition and chemical decomposition and that many things contribute to decomposition, but certain organisms are classified as decomposers. They also search for and discuss evidence of decomposers, make model diagrams to further develop their ideas about the process of decomposition, and discuss decomposition and its role in the cycling of matter. Finally, students are challenged to recognize the evidence and impact of decomposition in the ecosystems they explore.

- Learning Standards
- Students will: - Explore, observe, and compare samples of decomposing materials and use reasoning to determine the level of decomposition among them - Search for and classify decomposers (or evidence of them) as fungi, bacteria or invertebrates - Investigate and discuss decomposition as the process of breaking down dead organisms and their waste materials into smaller and simpler forms of matter - Create a model diagram for the process of decomposition - Discuss the role decomposers play in making matter available to living plants

- Description
- The materials explain how to set up an electrophoresis experiment using simple materials which can easily be purchased in any community across the province. Gel electrophoresis is as a very common analytical tool used in laboratories around the world and students will learn about technology and experiments conducted in a genetics lab. The goal is to make scientific method and process more tangible.

- Description
- Hormones are responsible for the regulation of many body functions. This lesson will take a closer look into how DNA, the blueprint for life, affects hormone production and, therefore, affects the expression and regulation of primary and secondary sexual characteristics in the human body.

- Big Ideas: 1. DNA and Cells All living things are made of cells, which contain DNA and cell structures that allow cells to survive and reproduce. 2. Organization Organ systems have complex interrelationships to maintain homeostasis. Content: 1. organs within each of the systems are interconnected to maintain homeostasis: a. reproductive system 2. functional interrelationships exist among body systems 3. DNA carries the cell’s genetic information: a. process of DNA replication b. process of protein synthesis c. genomics
