Seventh graders research Alaska, then construct their own food web after researching a habitat of their choice.

Students conduct a food drive. In this service learning lesson plan, students put on a school-wide food drive, decorate the bags the food will be delivered in and possibly even help distribute the food.

Students examine the idea of recycling by composting. Using the internet, they research the benefits of composting to the environment. In groups, they collect numbers on how much food and yard waste is produced in their community. ...

Students examine how carnivorous plants get their nutrients from animals.  In this food web lesson students examine how the plants attract their prey and are given many onilne sources to research.

Students explore mold, the different types and the health risks that they pose.  In this mycelium lesson students grow different molds and see which type of foods mold the fastest. 

Students explore the process of growing plants from seeds. In this hands-on science experiment, students observe different seeds (store bought vs. those directly from food items) and predict growing patterns.

Pupils examine nutritionally related diseases and illnesses, evaluating studies and developing topics for a science fair project. They investigate bacteria, researching how it can be harmful or helpful, and create illustrated displays.

Middle schoolers investigate how water travels up the stem of vascular plants by using food coloring to stain the xylem of a number of different plants. They know the function of leaves, stems, and root at the end of the experiment.

Fifth graders will research a biome (land or aquatic) and create a project (diorama, model or another idea of the student's choosing) which includes the geographic features of that biome as well as plants and animals found there and...

Students complete multi-curricular to learn about senses and sensory words. In this sensory words lesson, students discuss the five senses and the anatomy of a tongue. Students complete a food tasting activity and find descriptive words...

In this craft project worksheet, learners gather materials and with adult help, construct a table for feeding birds. This is an advanced project.

In this paramecium learning exercise, students sharpen their science skills as they color the parts of a paramecium according to the instructions and then respond to 15 analysis questions.

Young scholars create an original project dealing with birds. For this bird lesson, students take a virtual field trip to bird feeders around the nation. Young scholars replicate the coloring of winter birds.

Learners play a game where half of them are deer and the others are components of habitat: food, water, shelter and space. They signify their needs by hand gestures and take what they need to their side of the game. They discuss real...

Students examine nutritional information on various food labels and then consider the nutritional value of the foods in their own diets. They create posters illustrating their diets "before" and "after" they considered their fat intake.

Students create a project using a provided "Evolution of Biotechnology Timeline". Students may pick from many different ideas in order to find a project that interests them. They examine how the use of biotechnology has increased with...

Students observe and identify the changes that occur in the life cycle of a butterfly. They view photos of each stage of the life cycle, create an art project of the butterfly cycle, and illustrate a book titled "The Life of a Butterfly."

Students review different types of milk products and their characteristics, demonstrate how to select and prepare milk and milk products, identify standard serving sizes, define terms associated with milk and milk products, and practice...

Students discover that plants provide food products to humans. In this baking instructional activity, students grind wheat seeds into flour and then use the flour to make pretzels. Students participate in a variety of activities that...

Young scholars differentiate weather and climate. In this earth science lesson, students investigate the climate of a zone they chose. They create a presentation and share their findings with the class.

Sixth graders examine renewable energy sources such as ethanol.  In this photosynthesis and biomes lesson students complete a project on farming techniques. 

Students research an ocean species. In this science lesson plan, students create a research presentation as a conclusion to the ocean grazers unit. Students present their projects to the class and complete a self-reflection paper.
