Students discover correlations in food preferences of invertebrates, and assess stream health through use of kicknets, invertebrate keys, CBL systems and probes.

Students demonstrate the path of food in the body. In this biology lesson, students conduct an experiment to determine how large the the digestive system is. They name the different organs involved in the digestive process.

Students investigate pollination. In this plant biology activity, students study a diagram of the reproductive parts of the flower and dissect and identify the parts of a real flower.

Tenth graders test their saliva for enzyme activity. In this enzyme lesson plan, 10th graders conduct an experiment to test the enzymatic activity of their saliva. They relate the lack of certain digestive enzymes with alcoholism.

Seventh graders examine different transplant types and estimate the possible outcomes.  In this biology lesson students discuss donors and transplants then divide into groups and complete a worksheet.

Ninth graders take a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box) and cut it up to make a new, cubical box with the same volume as the original. In so doing, they will discover that because the cubical box has less surface area than the...

Students study changes in the environment using a microscale experiment. In this environmental science lesson, students construct a modified "Winogradsky Column" to observe bacteria activities. They record observations and formulate a...

Learners examine the relationship between cell surface area and the ability of materials to diffuse through a cell. They participate in an experiment in which they determine which materials diffuse easier than others. They complete...

Students perform a classroom experiment on the organisms of worms. They view the behaviors of the worms and analyze their results. This lesson introduces students to the techniques involved in behavioral studies.

High schoolers define the term solution. They explain conservation of energy and energy transfer as it relate to how the milk solution became ice cream. Students are able to explain freezing point depression.

Learners use the scientific method to complete to experiments that have visible reactions. In this visible reaction lesson, students participate in an experiment with melting ice and one with inflating a balloon. Learners record their...

Fifth graders use common household items to build landforms and simulate weathering and erosion.

Students relate the concepts of linear functions to the game of monopoly. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve problems with ratio and proportion. They collect data and graph it.

Students are introduced to the concepts of genetic dominance, recessiveness, related terms, Punnett Squares, etc.

Pupils identify and categorize knowledge needed to design an experiment. They observe, recognize and describe the motion viewed. They document any changes caused by various solutions.

Young scholars calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Students estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Students compare the...

Seventh graders use a pond to explore macroinvertebrates and other organisms. They use a dichotomous key to classify the organisms and maintain a journal recording their findings.
