Should Populations in an Ecosystem be Restricted?
Fourth graders experiment to determine how overpopulation effects ecosystems specifically plants. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders conduct an ecosystems experiment after listening to Claire Daniel's, Ecosystems. They watch a video,...
Curated OER
The Flying Paperclip
Students investigate items that interrupt magnetic fields. In this physics lesson, students explain why the paper clip in the experiment seems to fly. They write a detailed explanation of what they did in this activity.
Curated OER
Rapid Ecological Assessments
Students conduct an ecological assessment of a small area on school property. They inventory plant and animal life of a sample area and make calculations to determine implications for a larger area.
Curated OER
Rapid Mycological Assessment
Students examine types of mycology methods. They practice using new vocabulary and answer key questions. They complete a field survey and analyze their results.
Curated OER
A Fiedl Study of an Integral Species
Students compile baseline population information on a local species. They design and conduct a scientific investigation of a local species. Students interpret, analyze and communicate results based on sound scientific and mathematical...

Back to the Age of Exploration
Students explore world history by researching explorers of North America. In this famous explorers lesson plan, students research one specific explorer of their choice and identify his successes and failures by utilizing the Internet....
Curated OER
Life is Weird
Students study the organisms that are found in cold seeps and see how they interact with each-other. In this biological organism lesson students describe the major features of cold seeps and the process of chemosynthesis.
Curated OER
This Life Stinks
Students study cold seeps and see how organisms obtain energy from methane. In this sinkholes lesson students examine the relevance of chemosynthesis to communities.
Curated OER
What's the Difference?
High schoolers discover how volcanic processes differ at convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries. They identify three geologic features that are associated with most volcanoes on Earth.
Curated OER
Animals of the Fire Ice
Students study ice worms and describe how they interact with other species. In this methane hydrate lesson students study ice worms and hydrate shrimp to learn their behavior and can participate in an optional activity.
Curated OER
What's the Big Deal?
Pupils explore and define methane hydrates and describe ways that it can impact their own lives. For this methane hydrate lesson students create a molecular model and research methane hydrate.
Curated OER
The Benthic Drugstore
Students examine active chemicals that are in marine invertebrates and how they act to fight diseases. In this marine lesson students identify three pharmacologically-active chemicals, describe their disease fighting action and infer...
