Curated OER
Big Fleas Have Little Fleas
A benthic habitat hosts a vast collection of organisms and its structure influences the biodiversity. Middle-school marine biology explorers will discuss how corals impact structure, and therefore diversity, on the ocean floor. They draw...

The Fractal Geometry of Nature
Students identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson plan, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

Fractal and the Dragon Curve
Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.
