Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of ecosystems. They focus upon conducting research to find information about the water ecosystem. The facts are used as influence to create a drawing of an underwater...

Students explore the world's oceans. They research questions about the oceans and write a research report about an ocean animal. Students identify at least four different writing genres they experienced while reading about the ocean.

Students demonstrate the movements and behaviors of creatures from different parts of the ocean.

Learners identify animals within a species by using their observation skills to record information, such as behavioral characteristics.

Third graders explore the ocean habitat. They race each other while portraying a different creature of the sea. They research various types of creatures found in the sea and portray that creature while racing classmate.

Students investigate the characteristics of animals by creating a chart. In this animal life lesson, students create a KWL chart listing all the different animals a class can name. Students take a field trip to a science facility to get...

Students complete four activities to investigate how reef ecology can change. They perform experiments to show how sewage discharge can affect a marine ecosystem, look at substances that don't dissolve in water, examine wave action...

Third graders research turtles and the ways they have adapted to their marine environment. They work in groups and publish their findings using SiteMaker a web-authoring tool.

Students analyze water strider behavior. In this water strider lesson, students study the movement and feeding behavior of water striders. Students catch water striders and then generate scientific observations.

What do a dead fish, conservation, and paint have in common? The answer is a great instructional activity about fish anatomy, fun print making techniques, and unsustainable fishing practices. The class will start by making fish...

Young scholars compare and contrast algae and land plants. For this plant lesson students discover what algae and land plants require for growth. The young scholars discuss experimental design. The students experiment with different...

Learners visit the Greenheart Canopy Walkway. In this environmental lesson, students experience a coastal rain forest ecosystem. Learners interact and explore the different layers of the rain forest.

Students fill out a fact sheet and look at diagrams of BC's shore and the animals that live there. In this habitat lesson plan, students discuss the plants and animals and the different zones they live in.

Students create a mural of the food chain of the animals and plants of BC's rocky shore. In this food chain lesson plan, students also play a food chain matching game.

Students investigate mammals and blubber. In this science lesson abut the sea, students perform an experiment that will help them in discovering how blubber keeps sea mammals warm.

Students study science. In this endangered species lesson, students examine sea turtles and actions that can be taken to help keep them alive. They work in small groups to research different species of turtles and share their information...

Students explore the different zones of life in the ocean.

Students explore the Hawaiian monk seal. In this science lesson, students read about the monk seal and participate in a game in which they answer questions about the Hawaiian monk seal.

Students discuss fossils. In this science lesson, students simulate fossils within Earth's layers by using gummy fish and bread.

Students study barrel sponges. For this science and art lesson, students discuss what sponges are, create their own sponge, and share what they created with the rest of the class.

In this earth science worksheet, students read the description of each animal and identify who each one is. They circle every third letter in the box to the right to check their answer.

In this science worksheet, young scholars find the names of 10 diving ducks in a word search puzzle. A diving duck goes beneath the water's surface to feed. The word bank has a detailed color drawing of each duck.

Students explore the concept of environmental stewardship. In this science lesson plan, students examine the effects of oil spills and investigate clean-up methods as they participate in a hands-on activity.

Students explore the concept of environmental stewardship. In this science lesson, students examine the environmental effects of oil spills as they replicate a contained oil spill and clean up.
