Your Safer Source for Science
Since 1977
Enhance your lessons in cell structure, diffusion and osmosis using Flinn Scientific study kits, models and posters especially developed or chosen to assist in your classroom.
Use the 4 labs in this 360Storyline to lead students to a written understanding/working model of how scientists learn about the structure and function of cells ultimately lead to medical advances.
Key Concepts
360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience. In this lab experience, students carry out an investigation on how the addition of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid, IAA, impacts the rate of mitosis in an onion plant root. They will get the opportunity to compare onion roots grown with and without this additional IAA hormone. Students will perform a chi-squared analysis on the class results. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.
360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience. In this lab experience, students carry out an investigation to detect molecule movement across a semipermeable phospholipid membrane using a single-celled eukaryotic organism. In this experiment, students will observe the movement of the pH sensitive vital stain, neutral red, across the phospholipid membranes of yeast cells. They will determine how high heat impacts this movement. In addition, they will add various basic solutions to the yeast-neutral red suspension to detect movement of molecules across the cell membrane. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

In this lab experience, students carry out three investigations to observe behavior of planaria. They will further investigate planaria growth and development by examining the ability of this animal to regenerate after the division of its body using three different prescribed cuts on three different specimens. Planaria are required and available separately. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content—including a virtual reality (VR) simulation—help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.
Engage your students with Interactive Notebook Activity Packs. The Interactive Notebook flippers will have your kids “flipping” their way through learning all about science. Disseminate these lessons as you see fit whether creating a PowerPoint, in a class discussion or as small group activities. The possibilities are endless! Each Interactive Notebook Activity Pack includes directions for and photographs or examples of each activity, teacher notes and answer keys.
Includes 140+ PDF pages (30 activities), including differentiated black line and color templates, covering the following topics:
Science terminology doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With more than 250 different vocabulary terms, this colorful visual word wall meets all learners’ needs with an illustration and word root, suffix and prefix on each card. Each set can be printed in English and/or Spanish. Use the included arrows to show relationships among the words and help students make connections with their science vocabulary.
Includes:
Eight vocabulary lessons are bundled in this differentiated packet for both below-level and at/above-level readers. Each integrated literacy activity offers a teacher-written, student-friendly reading introducing new terminology in a fun and engaging way as well as graphic organizers, fill-in-the-blank or other methods of vocabulary interaction. The readings are the same for all levels of readers, but the questions are different so students don't even need to know that they are receiving work different from their peers!
For below-level readers, ESL students or those that require scaffolding, the reading provides bold-faced terms, simple matching and guided extension questions.
For above-level, honors, AP or challenge students, the reading provides regular typeface, graphic organizers for creating connections with terminology and rigorous and challenging extension questions.
Units include:
The open-ended, inquiry-based Life Science Task Cards will get kids thinking about science! Engage students with more than 130 life science task cards, perfect for warm-ups, exit tickets, project starters, stations, differentiation, review, enrichment and more. Use the activities as stand-alone lessons or supplements to the Getting Nerdy® Life Science Curriculum Bundle. Includes directions and answer keys for each activity in the seven topic sets:
