Regents High School Examination: Living Environment 2009
Emerging ecologists need a full understanding of life, from the inner workings of a cell to the complex relationships among organisms. This examination is meant to assess high schoolers after an entire year course on the living...
Curated OER
Population Dynamics
Students are divided into groups, each group goes to a randomly selected area of the field. They lay out a one square meter plot. Using string to mark the square. Students identify some sort of vegetation that is easy to count within...

Connecticut Wildlife: Biodiversity and Conservation Status of Our Vertebrate Populations
Young scholars explore the different types of vertebrates found in their area. In this environmental science lesson, students perform a case study on the Common Raven. They analyze data collected from research and create charts and graphs.
Curated OER
Fall 1-The Rain Forest Biome and the Effects of Acid Rain - Biology Teaching Thesis
High schoolers explain why rain forests have great biodiversity, and list each layer of a rain forest and tell an organism that lives in each. They identify the cause of acid rain and its affect on a rain forest. Students hypothesize the...
Curated OER
Annual Wetland Plant Diversity Survey
High schoolers locate an area of marsh and, by measuring the total number of individual plants in a sample area, determine whether purple loosestrife population density is correlated to the total plant diversity of the community. They...
Curated OER
Mark-and-Recapture
Students investigate the mark-and-recapture method for estimating the population of an animal species. They evaluate given data to answer a set of questions.
Curated OER
People Are Like Peas in a Pod
Students experiment with peapods to show the diversity of individual within a population. They examine dominant traits, recessive traits, genotypes, and phenotypes and show the process of making a Punnett Square.
