Young scholars explore, examine and study the differences and similarities in the average ages of the populations of two countries in the EU. They interpret tables, draw and interpret diagrams and assess interpretations of a statistical...

Students gather information on China's government controlled population limit policy, discuss the policy with their peers, mathematically model different policies, and decide as a class on the best policy.

Students discuss basic structure of National Government in United Kingdom, explore electoral system of individual countries and European Union, and complete Government and Population worksheet to practice rounding, and calculating mean...

In this U.S. history instructional activity, students read articles about Populism and segregation. Students then respond to 15 short answer questions.  

In this population worksheet, students read word problems relating to population growth. They write the problem as a differential equation, create models and graphs of the solution. This three-page worksheet contains 10 multi-step...

Ninth graders study deer including their reproduction rate and management in Pennsylvania.  In this deer overpopulation lesson students estimate deer population and suggest management tools. 

Students gather data about bird populations. They study bird migratory patterns using the methods that researchers use. They write an essay explaining the differences between the four types of population movements.

High schoolers are taught how to format and enter data into an Excel spreadsheet. They make a graph, and interpret graphed data. Students discuss the possible impacts of zebra mussels on the Hudson river. They graph zebra mussel data.

Older high schoolers use maps to study changes in society like migration, population loss, and economic shifts, and then connect events from historical events to present day mapping of their region (The resource focuses on Canada, but...

Uncover the mysteries of East Asia, or cover topics such as geography, external influences, population, and nationalism. This short PowerPoint provides very brief, basic information, sure to complement a whole lecture.

Your young microbiologists will interpret and solve exponential equations in this real-world context task set in a hospital research scenario. Learners think in terms of the functions as well as their rates of change. 

Assume all you know is that the variable Q represents a value that is bigger than the value represented by the variable P. Which is larger P + Q or 2P? The problems in this activity get more complex than...

Your algebra learners make predictions using the concepts of a linear model from real-life data given in table form. Learners analyze and discuss solutions without having to write a linear equation.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is the focus of this concise slideshow.  Some vocabulary definitions are given on the first 2 slides, and the rest are given over to examples of the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. Calculations of the H-W...

Finally, here is a genetics activity that does not include Punnett squares! Designed for a more advanced class, biology learners will compare Lamarck's concept of evolution with Darwin's. They will explore the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium...

Context makes everything better! Groups use real data to create models and make predictions. Classmates compare an exponential model to a linear model, then consider the real-life implications. 

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.

High schoolers engage students in an ecological inquiry. They author a presentation to the Grounds Management Committee of their school giving their recommendation for the control of the invasive species purple loosestrife (Lythrum...

A lot of learning is packed into these 23 questions about ecosystems. Advanced biology classes apply their knowledge of communities, productivity, biogeochemical cycles, and human impact on the environment by writing short answers for...

Sixth graders explore the concept of biodiversity.  In this biodiversity lesson plan, 6th graders discover a variety of planets and animals that live in forests, and how a rotting log benefits that environment.  Students also...

Ecology enthusiasts explore ecosystems with this worksheet. They define vocabulary terms and write out answers to questions about distribution and abundance of life. They complete a chart comparing abiotic and biotic factors of Earth's...

Offering a comprehensive overview of symbiotic relationships, this presentation would be a great way to introduce or review material covered in a biology class. There are definitions, examples, and a quiz on the meaning of parasitism,...
