Careers in Science In this media-rich lesson, students explore careers in science through profiles of Alaska Native scientists. They consider how traditional ways of knowing and Western approaches to science can complement each other and allow students to incorporate their own interests when considering careers in science.	6-12	Lesson Plan
Cell Replication Students explore the structure and function of cells and mitosis.	6-8	Lesson Plan
Cell Replication and Cancerous Cells Students explore mitosis and learn about uncontrolled cell division, or cancer.	9-12	Lesson Plan
Cellular Structure and Function Students explore cell structures, the role of the membrane, and the similarities and differences among specialized cells.	9-12	Lesson Plan
Chain Reaction This inquiry-based Nature lesson plan will challenge students to design and conduct scientifically valid experiments to evaluate hypotheses regarding an animal’s expected behavior in response to changes in its environment.	9-11	Lesson Plan
Changing Materials Without Touching - Levers, Actuators and Exciting Materials (HS) In this lesson plan, Changing Materials Without Touching - Levers, Actuators, and Exciting Materials, high school students learn that heating up a material can rearrange its atoms, and change its properties. The change in the material (a nitinol wire shortens due to heat) activates a lever that exerts force.	9-12	Lesson Plan
Changing Materials Without Touching - Levers, Actuators and Exciting Materials (MS) In this lesson plan, Changing Materials Without Touching - Levers, Actuators, and Exciting Materials, middle school students learn that heating up a material can rearrange its atoms, and change its properties. The change in the material (a nitinol wire shortens due to heat) activates a lever that exerts force.	6-8	Lesson Plan
