Students observe and investigate the areas included in the Great North. In this geography instructional activity, students observe a documentary based on the Great North. Later the students will draw and identify countries within the...

Students research bears and their characteristics with a specific study on North American bears and polar bears. For this bear study lesson, students read books about polar bears and wild bears. Students complete activities to further...

Students study the difference between living and nonliving bears by classifying pictures of bears and placing them on the appropriate posterboard. Given pictures of bears, students recognize types of bears by placing the pictures correctly.

Young scholars study bears. In this science lesson, students compare black, grizzly and polar bears. Young scholars measure the bear tracks and compare the bear habitats and diet.

Just like so many other birds, swans migrate during the cold winter months. Your class can gain a better understanding of migration and bird life as they act out some of the activities common to the tundra swan. They make a nest, sit on...

Not only do mealworms taste great, they are also great for classroom science lessons. In pairs, young scientists observe and record what they see as they check out what their mealworms are doing from minute to minute. Each minute...

Learners create classification system for Arctic-dwelling animals, the Arctic hare in particular.

Students look at the migration of different birds. In this migration lesson, students discuss why an animal migrates and problems that can occur during migration. They look at several downloadable maps that show the specific routes of...

Students read the book The Whiningdingdilly and complete a Venn Diagram, write a friendly letter, find misplaced animals, and morph animals and humans. In this The Whiningdingdilly lesson plan, students practice reading, writing, map...

Students investigate the characteristics of animals by creating a chart. In this animal life lesson, students create a KWL chart listing all the different animals a class can name. Students take a field trip to a science facility to get...

Discuss the environment of the Arctic tundra using this resource. The focus of this lesson is the story A Walk in the Tundra by Rebecca L. Johnson. The appealing illustrations are bound to captivate your class! After reading the...

Fourth graders create an organized report which includes specific information about their assigned animal. They use the Alpha Smarts program and Microsoft Word to create their reports.

This is a terrific resource! Have your class learn about Inuit sled dogs using this lesson. They discuss how the Inuit travel and the needs of their sled dogs. This lesson includes a math activity, discussion questions and a cooperative...

A two-part worksheet incorporating bar graphs and pie charts, young mathematicians can practice their graphing skills. Pupils answer questions using graphs and charts but are also challenged to create their own using a given set of data.

The ways that animals adapt to their environments is quite remarkable. In this life science lesson, fifth graders take a look at some of the ways that aquatic animals that live in Arctic or Antarctic waters survive. They perform an...

Third graders recognize and locate Frigid, Temperate, and Torrid climatic zones on the word map or globe. They explain that plants, animals, and human societies display adaptations to the climates they live in .

Sixth graders research and investigate the Arctic hare and the snowshoe hare, and the order hares and rabbits. They explore an animal website and compare/contrast the two animals, recording their data on a chart.

First graders write explanations for why certain animals can only live in certain environments. In this animal survival lesson plan, 1st graders take pictures of animals and place them into the right environment after a lesson on the...

Here is an exciting exploration of a fascinating topic for your emerging ecologists: bird migration! They begin by visiting the US Fish & Wildlife Service website to discover which Arctic birds come to their areas. They are assigned...

A marine environment covers the majority of the earth but is arguably the least understood. Teach young scientists about the characteristics of oceans and ocean species using an interactive online lesson. The in-person or remote learning...

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

Your introductory lesson to oceanography can be outlined with this apropos presentation. It touches on the physical features of the ocean floor, waves, tides, and currents. One small issue is that some of the graphics are not of the...

The Alaskan wilderness contains every imaginable element of the water cycle: it has flowing streams, cool spring rain, and frozen glaciers. Pupils use a series of worksheets to identify and define evaporation, condensation, and...
