Biology

Reinforce life science concepts through daily, phenomenon-based warmups.

About This Subject

Biology warmups cover the full scope of life science — from cell processes and genetics to ecology and evolution. Prompts build the content knowledge and scientific reasoning skills students need to succeed in high school biology.

How Do Now Warmups Works

Each prompt presents a biological phenomenon, diagram, data set, or passage that students analyze in a short written response. Prompts are organized by unit, making it easy for teachers to assign warmups that directly support the day's lesson.

Aligned to National Standards

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) — Life Science

Aligned to NGSS Life Science disciplinary core ideas: LS1 (From Molecules to Organisms), LS2 (Ecosystems), LS3 (Heredity), and LS4 (Biological Evolution).

Benefits for Teachers and Students
