Students investigate eight different species of sea turtles while being involved in classroom lecture and video presentation. The characteristics used to identify sea turtles is taught to help students identify unknown species.

Pupils use the internet to complete a species scavenger hunt. In groups, they answer questions given to them about sea lions, rockfish and killer whales. As a class, they identify any questions they have and discuss the role government...

Students use the Planets feature of their software to experiment and gain a insight into the way that creatures may evolve over a certain period of time. Students identify and analyze various questions as presented in the instructional...

Tenth graders conduct a critical analysis of current evolutionary concepts. They describe how scientists continue to investigate theories. Students examine examples with experimental data that suggest alternative methods of species...

Students examine the influence of biodiversity on human culture through the use of birds. They brainstorm words that come to mind when they think of human cultures. They describe ways that human culture and biodiversity are linked.

Learners simulate the changes in a natural population of birds or other species. They establish baseline data of population fluctuation for a closed population with a stable food supply. They graph the data to complete their mutations.

First graders identify three species of wildlife in Arkansas. They discuss the environment in which the whitetail deer, raccoon, and beaver live in. They identify the footprints of each animal and discuss how the animals are harvested...

Students examine the phenotypic variation within a natural population of a single species. They collect data on the species and analyze the data using statistical/spreadsheet software. Students interpret their results and present their...

Students utilize the Internet to locate a variety of insects. The pictures located are compared and contrasted and placed into a book which is published by the class.

Learners examine fossilized owl pellets to determine how a species environmental preferences allow us to reconstruct probable past environments. Differences in anatomy are used to identify species in this lesson.

Fifth graders identify two similarities and two differences between two phyla, assign fictitious invertebrate to its phylum and explain why it belongs in that grouping, and construct member of given phylum and explain why it should be...

Students research a rare species of animals that are a step away from the well known animals of our zoos. They create a mobile which displays the geography, habits, population and habitat of the animals. They draw a picture.

Students explore how to classify new species.

Students have an index card with the name of one species found in their predetermined ecosystem. They see what happens when one part of the ecosystem is endangered.

Students review factors that threaten survival of different species. this lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on animal survival.

Students explore the diversity of life forms and the role that interdependency plays in our world through a mult-segmented unit. This segment introduces the unit.

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

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