Students investigate ecological systems and the multiple uses of the environment by studying the osprey population.

Students explore human senses. In this applied Science lesson, students utilize their senses to distinguish various objects. Students explain their descriptions.

Middle schoolers observe and examine the life cycle of antlions, recording their observations of the live insects in a journal. They view an antlion on a video microscope, draw the body parts, and replicate their experiment at home.

In this science worksheet, students investigate plants by first reading a paragraph of information. Students then choose a plant, illustrate and write about it.

In this kidneys worksheet, students review the structure and function of the kidneys in the human body. This worksheet has 18 fill in the blank statements.

Seventh graders use a pond to explore macroinvertebrates and other organisms. They use a dichotomous key to classify the organisms and maintain a journal recording their findings.

Students study about geologists and their job. They also study that rocks are made up of minerals and organic material by conducting an experiment where they create their own "granite" or "coal".

Students use a written key or illustrated key to identify fungi on plant leaves into its genus based on sexual or asexual reproduction, host range diversity, and host-parasite relationships.

Young scholars become familiar with real-world gathering of chemical data. The experience how the science is done: the nature of analysis, data collection, interpretation, and presentation. They study a nearby body of water for their...

Learners develop a greater awareness of the variety and amount of particulate matter in the air. They try to locate general sources of pollution for a specific area and develop some suggestions for improving air quality.

Students examine diversity on the planet and the differences within a species.  In this investigative lesson students complete a lab that allows students to better understand the relatedness between plants. 

Students recognize slides of different fungi. They work in lab groups. Students view slides under the microscope, then draw and label the parts, magnification, and the organism. Students discuss similarities between some fungi and...

Fourth graders watch the movements of the complex animal hidden inside the tiny barnacle shells. This lesson allows students to study the behavior, adaptation, and larval stage of the barnacle.

Students observe the embryological development in the zebrafish. Developmental hierarchy from three germ layers is studied in depth. Research is validated on the body plan of the embryo.

Pupils identify consumers and producers in different communities. Students collect a variety of soil samples and record organisms found in the samples.

Young scholars explore predator/prey relationships. They research information on moon snails and claims. Students draw conclusions from the data collected. They use math and graphing to determine if there is a relationship to the clam's...

Students obtain remote sensing data to compare and contrast global biomass data with global temperature data.

Students come to understand vocabulary words through pantomime. For this vocabulary lesson, students first review several vocabulary words and their meaning, then they work in groups to pantomime the definitions.

Young scholars become familiar with common microorganisms and experience exploring the microbial world.

Sixth graders study living cells and their functioning units.  In this cell lesson students color cell diagrams, answer questions and discuss the differences between plant and animal cells. 

Young scholars explain why dissolved oxygen is important in aquatic ecosystems. They evaluate the optimal dissolved oxygen levels for living organisms.

In this bioluminescence worksheet, students read about various organisms that glow on land and in the sea. They answer three critical thinking questions after reading about these chemical reactions.

Students explore how to classify new species.
