Students investigate the geological, climatic, and biological features of Big Sur. They watch a video, conduct Internet research, and create a script and images in the form of an outline in a simulation of an environmental group.

Students are introduced to the concept and components of a habitat. They discuss the key components of a habitat and describe how certain factors can cause disturbances in a habitat and change its population. Activities are leveled for...

Learners describe a coral reef, how it is formed and its inhabitants. They explain the ecological and economic importance of coral reefs and discuss its present-day threats. Lesson contains adaptations for all levels.

Second graders create a bird's nest from recyclable material. After a discussion of animal habitats, 2nd graders collect recyclable materials, appropriate for nest building during a nature walk. They use their materials to build a nest...

Students visit the zoo and study the koala bears. In this habitat lesson, students take a field trip to the zoo and examine the habitat of the koala bears. Students watch videos about koalas and consider the needs of the koalas....

Students identify plant diversity in the rainforest and the role that animals and habitats play in scientific research. They differentiate between natural habitat and laboratory research and work collaboratively to produce a video news...

For this conservation biology worksheet, students will complete 9 short answer questions on the different strategies of conservation biology, including the Endangered Species Act and establishing protected areas for animals.

Students begin the lesson by observing animals in their natural habitat. Using the internet, they research the types of adaptations they have gone through to be able to live comfortably in their environment. They observe what they see on...

Second graders explore the marshland habitat. In this habitats lesson, 2nd graders view a video on marshlands and identify the plants and animals that live there. Students discuss the characteristics of the marshland habitat and the...

Young scholars discover how specific colors compliment each other. Students use paints and pictures of animals to create a picture with analogous color harmony. They explain the characteristics of analogous colors.

Students explore the various reasons for animals becoming endangered and threatened with extinction. Within this lesson plan, students choose an animal to research and then creativity introduce their animal to the rest of the class...

Second graders investigate the habitat of otters. In this animal science lesson plan, 2nd graders role play the job of wildlife biologists and try to manage the otter population. Students use a map to track their specific otter population.
