It has always seemed to me that the many parts that make up the subject of biology are related to each other more like the nodes of a web than as a linear collection of independent topics.
membrane -- In biology, a boundary layer inside or around a living cell or tissue.
mesokaryotic -- Nuclear condition unique to the dinoflagellates in which the chromosomes remain permanently condensed.
Nucleoside In molecular biology; a molecule composed of a sugar (2' deoxyribose in DNA; ribose in RNA) which is linked to a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (thymine (DNA), cytidine or uridine (RNA)).

This lab should also be practical in Biology. I think it can be simplified or made difficult depending on the level that you teach. Please let me know how this lab turns out. I am a pre-service teacher and I will be student teaching shortly.
Hybridisation Used in molecular biology to describe the process of annealing one strand of a polynucleotide (DNA or RNA), the probe, to a strand of complementary sequence (again either DNA or RNA), the target.
