Second graders study photosynthesis and explore how chlorophyll is important to leaves and why leaves change colors in the fall.

Second graders, using large colored poster board, explore photosynthesis and its effect on the food chain and survival of organisms.

Pupils describe typical marine food webs, and explain why food is generally scarce in the deep-ocean environment. They discuss reasons that seamounts may support a higher density of biological organisms than would appear to be possible.

Students learn about the parts of a plant, and how plants live and grow.

Eighth graders differentiate photosynthesis and respiration. In this biology lesson, 8th graders draw a diagram explaining these two processes. They answer a quiz after the lesson.

Learners explain the process of photosynthesis. For this biology lesson, students label the different reproductive parts of the flowers. They watch a short video then identify the leaf parts on the board.

Students observe the changes between elodea leaves placed in darkness and light.  In this life science lesson, students experiment to find evidence of photosynthesis in elodea leaves. Students use indicators to detect the presences...

Students identify plant needs. In this biology activity, students watch All About Plants and then write a paragraph describing the various details about plants.

Students research trees and their parts. In this forestry lesson, students participate in various learning stations to identify trees by matching the photographs of the tree to the correct name.

In this reactions worksheet, students describe combustion as either exothermal or endothermal. Students balance reactions and label the types of reactions. This worksheet has 1 multiple choice, 2 short answer, and 10 problem solving...

In this living things worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in 1 main idea and 2 supporting details about how living things get energy.

In this plants worksheet, students write the 3 steps that take place when a plant produces its own food. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

For this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms that are related to the rain forest. There are 24 biology terms located in the word search.

Sixth graders are introduced to online research and beginning PowerPoint presentations that are integrated. They pass a plant and photosynthesis. Students locate information on a self selected animal online. They give a PowerPoint...

Pupils observe the effect of light on plants. They illustrate the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the plant. Students see that plants are part of many natural cycles. They investigate how green plants use the sun's energy to...

Students investigate the use of biomass as a fuel. They discuss energy and its uses in their homes. They explore the two types of energy, potential and kinetic and examples of both types. They study the process of photosynthesis and...

Students investigate the different bioluminescent organisms. They use microscopes in order to make observations and draw what is seen. Students demonstrate they have studies the differences between the process of photosynthesis and...

Students identify and analyze some of the similarities between Earth and Mars. Students identify why scientists believe that living things such as plants can live on Mars. Students evaluate each of the Growing Space modules identify in...

Pupils will observe the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Then they observe the links due to climate changes and relate how climate change affects their lives.

Students articulate an explanation of photosynthesis. They identify problems they have with comprehension of how a plant gains mass. Students describe a historical experiment.

Young scholars observe changes in a selected tree leaf near their homes during the fall. Twice each week students record changes in the leaf using words, pictures, and numbers.

Seventh graders develop an experiment to measure the temperature on several parts of a tree to determine if there is a difference in surface temperature. They practice the process of scientific method to find out if trees create heat in...

Sixth graders examine the processes and transformations that occur in carbon pools. They play a game to identify paths taken by carbon through the environment.

Students explore how seeds grow. They design an experiment and predict its outcome.
