A great way to incorporate math into life science, this lesson has learners measure migratory routes on a map and calculate the actual distance that shorebirds on the routes would cover. Learners compute the distance covered in both...

Animals move in interesting ways! Get your young learners to examine various types of animal movement in this group graphing activity. Although directions are not explicit, it seems students are assigned an animal and categorize the...

What does dropping a ball look like as a graph? An engaging activity asks learners to record a video of dropping a ball and uploading the video to software for analysis. They compare the position of the ball to time and calculate the...

Students explore the migratory patterns of four different animals. Reasons for the migration and migratory distances are investigated in this lesson.

Students plot the migration paths of birds using latitude and longitude data from a table.

Learners match each body part or idea from a work bank about methods of animal adaptations for winter survival. They observe as the first one, food is covered with the whole class before completing the rest of the diagram. They discuss...

Students research their favorite animal. They create their own fact book to share about their animal and their habitat.

Young scholars assess the carrying capacity of the land. For this animal population lesson, students participate in a role-playing scenario to discover the factors affecting animal populations.

Fourth graders listen to a reading of In the Snow Who's Been Here? They experiment with making tracks by painting the bottom of their shoes and making tracks using different forms of locomotion. They apply what they know to winter...

Third graders read the article "Blue Claw," discuss crab migration, and look at a map of the Hudson River. They complete a worksheet where they must use subtraction to determine the distance migrating crabs travel.Web links, article, and...

Marine biology masters will meet the horseshoe crab and red knot shore birds that feast upon the crab eggs. Begin with a discussion and then have learners write postcards from each animal detailing their migration trips. A few math...

Students investigate the mark-and-recapture method for estimating the population of an animal species. They evaluate given data to answer a set of questions.

Students use hockey sticks to pick up bean bags and put them into hoops which they get money for in the end. In this movement and math lesson plan, students get fake money and add up how much they earned in the end based on how many...

Students practice telling time through movement, teamwork and cooperation - as they demonstrate how a clock represents time. They play a game of telling time in order to master the lesson objectives.

This is a well-designed science activity which helps students learn the behavior of different species of birds. Working with partners and in small team, students learn to scientifically observe birds.

Students identify the sea turtle management documentary and complete an activity for each slide. They plot the location of nests laid on the island they patrol and discuss their rationale for management decisions. Finally, students...
