Flatworms: The First Hunter
Flatworms evolved and developed the first bilateral body plan. These hermaphroditic animals with no circulatory system star in an informative video. Scholars learn about flatworms' place in the evolutionary tree, how they hunted, and...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Animal Development: We're Just Tubes
All humans begin as one cell and through mitosis, develop into an organism made of millions of cells, each specialized to keep people alive. The narrator of this short video explains the process by which embryos grow from a morula to a...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Invertebrate Diversity
Comparative anatomy prevails in the lesson exploring diversity among invertebrates. Biologists examine physical characteristics of an earthworm from phylum annelida and a meal worm from phylum insecta. They also inspect a cricket and a...

Line or Bilateral Symmetry
In this problem solving activity, 4th graders figure out how many lines of symmetry 6 Greek alphabet letters have. Students write each number and draw the line or lines on the lines provided.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Reflections of Symmetry
Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.
