Protozoa Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Protozoa lesson plan ideas and activities
Students describe and define xenophyophores. In this protozoa lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab activity.
In this lesson learners investigate the relationships between protozoa, algae and monera in freshwater, shoreline soil, and reindeer rumen. They publish reports of their findings.
Students examine many different types of protozoa and their life cycles. They find out what types of diseases can be caused by these microbes. There is a link to an eThemes Resource on the scientific method.
This lesson has students investigate protozoa. In this protozoa lesson, students identify and classify different types of protozoa using different ecological samples and protozoa charts.
6th graders observe, describe, and classify microorganisms found in water sources. In small groups, they make their own slide, observe the Protozoa under a microscope, and record and classify the microorganisms.
Students investigate microorganisms found in pond water. In this learning cycle unit, students experiment using rumen ciliates, filtering fluids, generating hypothesis, and analyze data to share in a presentation to their peers.
In this lesson students examine the following concepts: If water supplies contain materials which rot or decompose, oxygen is used. Decay and decomposition require vast supplies of oxygen. The use of oxygen for decay of wastes may be a life or death occurrence for organisms such as protozoa or fish. They need oxygen to live.
This lesson has learners describe how ringworm and roundworm cause diseases in both humans and animals. In this life science lesson, learners research how these diseases can be transmitted. They create an information brochure to promote public awareness about this health hazard.
Students create a design for water collection, sanitation, or supply. In this hydro-technology lesson, students learn about the global water crisis. Groups of students read water technology articles, draw or design a device or process, and present their designs to a mock review board for feedback.
Students examine the human population response to microbial diseases. In this disease lesson students observe population trends, write about a scientist and evaluate and defend current treatments for infectious diseases.
