Students examine deep-sea coral. In this coral lesson, students identify the structure and function of a coral polyp. Students then create a model of a coral polyp.

Middle schoolers discover ways to preserve the Earth's resources. In this natural resources lesson, students investigate how many gallons of water the average American uses per day and then total their estimated usage. Middle schoolers...

Fourth graders explore the pollination process. In this plant biology instructional activity, 4th graders dissect a flower to identify the parts of a flower and watch a video to see seed dispersal. Students write about the pollination...

High schoolers perform experiments designed to grow plants and bacteria in a controlled environment.  For this ecosystems lesson students investigate varying conditions for growing plants and bacteria. 

Ninth graders reflect on what they have learned throughout the unit.  In this Science lesson, 9th graders demonstrate how working together can produce an informative useful project.   

Students investigate how all links in the food chain are related. In this animal habitat activity, students hypothesize about what would happen in the food chain if an endangered species were to become extinct. This activity also...

Students investigate the food chain. For this ecology lesson, students define producers and consumers. Students use organism cards to demonstrate how the food chain works.

Students examine ecosystems and the variety of plants and animals that can be found in them.  In this plant identification lesson students identify the basic parts of a plant and categorize them according to their...

Students identify what plants need to grow. In this plant biology lesson, students analyze the differences between an artificial plant and a live plant. Students plant seeds and discuss what plants need to grow. Students observe the...

High schoolers examine the definitions of biomas gasification and generate their own biomass gas.  In this renewable energy lesson students collect gases and roast a marshmallow. 

Ninth graders study milkweed and see how it is effected by ozone.  In this air pollution lesson students complete a lab activity that includes data analysis. 

Students explore the concept of biomass. In this plant lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to observe plant growth and biomass.

Students learn more about lettuce. In this agriculture lesson plan, students listen to their instructor lecture about the history of lettuce. Students then participate in an activity that requires them to compare and contrast iceberg...

Seventh graders discover how an ecosystem works by creating one in class.  In this Earth science lesson, 7th graders study vocabulary terms associated with ecosystem and read environment handouts.  Students create an...

Fifth graders diagram and label the parts of a tree. For this lesson on how trees obtain food, 5th graders diagram and label the parts of a tree, and determine the diameter, height, and age of a tree.

Students study the reproductive strategies of reef building corals.  In this coral reef lesson students describe the behaviors of reef building corals and their nutritional strategies. 

Learners describe features of cold seep communities and investigate five organisms that live there.  In this biological organisms lesson plan students research a given species and give an oral presentation on their results. 

Students describe major features of cold seep communities  and list organisms that are found in these communities.  In this water habitat lesson students examine trophic levels, describe the process of chemosynthesis and list...

Students study the organisms that are found in cold seeps and see how they interact with each-other.  For this biological organism lesson students describe the major features of cold seeps and the process of chemosynthesis. 

Young scholars study cold seeps and see how organisms obtain energy from methane.  In this sinkholes lesson students examine the relevance of chemosynthesis to communities. 

Students describe features of cold seep communities and list organisms that can be found in these communities.  In this exploratory lesson students complete an activity and describe the process of chemosynthesis. 

Pupils compare deep ocean conditions to those found on the moons of Jupiter. In this Earth science instructional activity, students consider the possibilities and conditions needed to support simple life. Pupils examine the habitats and...

Students research renewable fuels. In this alternative energy activity, students compile information and create a comparison chart on renewable resources. This activity includes additional suggested readings, vocabulary, and a Biomass...

Students study plant parts and their functions.  In this plant life lesson students participate in an activity of planting plants.
