In this ecology worksheet students complete a crossword puzzle that incorporates all of the ecological vocabulary in the word puzzle.
Curated OER
What Do Plants Need?
Students experiment with plants. In this plant lesson, students research the needs of plants. Students determine if all plants have the same requirements for growth. In small groups, students experiment with different plants.

Teaching about Increased Conductivity: Are Culverts The Culprits?
Students encounter the complexity of identifying the cause of unusual variations in WOW conductivity data. They propose theories on why there was a sudden increase in conductivity in Ice Lake, Minnesota during July of 1998.
