First graders compare and contrast adult and baby animals to identify similar characteristics shared by both.

Students develop a realistic plan for designing and constructing a naturalized garden for their school's property. They become familiar with testing equipment for abiotic factors and geographic information systems and their uses.

Students identify characteristics of birds, name several species, and explain how birds fly. They make nests and give bird presentations.

Students create endangered animal figures and their habitats.

Learners identify adaptations within a species and benefits of each, environmental factors affecting success of individuals within population, follow the success or failure of different phenotypes according to collected data, and graph...

Students explore the species on the Galapagos Islands as they take on the role of a visiting research scientist. They create a journal to document the places they visit and species they encounter.

Students experiment with pea pods to observe/appreciate the diversity of individuals within a population, and to explain of how dominant and recessive traits, genotypes, and phenotypes help produce variation in a population.

Young scholars model natural selection by using various utensils to "capture food" using a simulated species called "Woolybooger's."

Students examine the differences in pH tolerance between the two species and relate these differences to their respective niches.
