Students explore animals that are endangered. They choose an endangered animal that they would like to keep from becoming extinct. Students create a persuasive presentation to persuade someone to understand why they feel keeping their...

How does life evolve? The interactive provides a simulation based on the Game of Life invented by mathematician John Conway. Users can run the applet with the preset rules and settings or adjust them to view whether overpopulation or...

Students model a paleontologist's activities. They identify dinosaur bones and reassemble them into a skeleton of an extinct reptile.

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

In this math worksheet students add four digit numbers with and without regrouping. Worksheet pictures a variety of dinosaurs and other extinct animals.

Middle schoolers consider the future of endangered species. In this conservation activity, students view a slide show and use mathematical data to construct a prediction for the survival of an endangered species. This activity includes,...

Eleventh graders practice the Quadrat Survey Technique to analyze the biodiversity of a local plant community. They compare its biodiversity with the documented changes in biodiversity of the tallgrass prairie over time.

Learners work with the strategy of breaking a problem into parts in order to solve it. They write an expression with parentheses for each of the first three problems, and solve the problem, and use information from a table to answer the...

Students construct a web of life. In this ecosystem lesson students are introduced to ecosystems and life cycles. Insects are the main focus.

Young scholars research real-time and historic temperature data of U.S. and world locations, and analyze the data using mean, median, and mode averages. They graph the data and draw conclusions by analyzing the data. A spreadsheet is...

Students identify animals within a species by using their observation skills to record information, such as behavioral characteristics.

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...

In this subtraction worksheet, student use a table of information to write equations and solve, then complete one related extension activity. 

Fourth graders represent a new predator on a population of colored worms. They mathematically determine the effect of the new predator on the survival and reproductive rates of the worms, simulating natural selection at work.

Learners examine trees. In this tree lesson, students create a model of a tree and its parts.

In this line graphs worksheet, students read 2 line graphs and answer short answer questions about them. Students answer 5 questions for each graph.

Seventh graders simulate the capture-recapture method of population sampling using beans. In this biology lesson, 7th graders calculate the total population of beans in the bowl. They assess whether this method is reliable or not.

Students create graphs to illustrate the bald eagle population. They identify the population of bald eagles in Minnesota and the United States. They create three graphs to represent the population data including a line, bar, and...

Second graders investigate the concept of Puerto Rican animals through using math word problems. They create a story to correlate with the word problems. The lesson also uses data of species counts to show increases and decreases for...
