Students color code a world map by region to show the different amphibians and reptiles that live there. They discuss the Nile Crocodile, Snapping Turtle, Komodo Dragon, Indian Python, and Lacertidae. When completed, they create a key...

Students 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.

Students learn about the characteristics of each animal classification. In this animal classification lesson plan students will first learn the characteristics of each classification. Then, they will find animals from given materials...

Young historians take a look at how the Indian tribes of California promoted a mindful relationship between people and the land. They begin to understand how the Indians were champions of conservation, and at preserving the natural...

A well-designed lesson which covers the characteristics of the animals found in the six animal groups is here for your young biologists. In it, learners divide up into six groups; the amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, and...

Learners recognize the six groups of animals (Mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians and arthropods) and their characteristics.  In this animal characteristics lesson, students sort animals by their traits.  Learners cut...

Who doesn't love animals? Young learners will be excited to develop their vocabulary and categorize animals into different lists. This includes a fun extension activity that encourages the older learners to create a PowerPoint...

Students study animals and practice classifying them through observation activities. In this animal classification lesson, students complete a KWL chart about animals. Students then sort pictures of animals into chart categories based on...

Students research facts about herps--reptiles and amphibians. They choose one or more facts to illustrate and create a drawing to be displayed.

Students investigate hunters and prey by creating a food web.  In this animal life lesson, students investigate a single organism in preparation for a field trip, discovering its diet and habitat.  Students each discuss their...
