Sixth graders are able to explain that there are pollutants in the Anacostia River, what these pollutants can cause, and how to prevent further pollution. They examine the impacts that the pollutants of the Anacostia River could have on...

Students visit numerous places to help in their understanding of Ecology. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn about characteristics and how to identify numerous plants and animals. This lesson allows for many field trip...

Explore biology by researching adaptation. First, learners research and define a list of insect vocabulary terms and discuss the benefits of each insect characteristic. They then utilize a worksheet to create their own insect and share...

Second graders compare and contrast animate and inanimate objects. In this environmental science lesson, 2nd graders create simple food webs. They observe their environment and create a collage about it.

Students, in beginning and advanced beginning ESL levels, use English in an animal lesson.

Students research different areas of biotechnology. In this biology activity, students create a presentation about their research. They debate the topic presented and share their views on the subject.

Students predict traits of future offspring. In this biology activity, students study karyotyping to predict genetic disorders. They research an assigned karyotype and present information about it.

Students explain how cells reproduce. For this biology lesson, students explain the different stages of the cell cycle. They calculate the number of new cells produced.

Students conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. In this biology activity, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.

Students explore the senses of different animals. In this biology lesson plan students will study the animals selected for their grades. The students will learn about the brain and how the senses of that animal have developed.

Students identify parts and functions of microscope. Students watch video, Cells and Life about cell parts with actual pictures and actual cells. Students discuss video and identify parts of the cells that animals and plants have in...

Students explore the environmental impact of humans on the plants and animals in their state. For this environmental impact lesson, students use digital cameras to photograph plants and animals in their state. Students investigate the...

Second graders explore biology by dissecting an animal. In this squid anatomy lesson, 2nd graders collaborate in pairs to investigate the inner body systems of a recently deceased squid. Students utilize plastic knives to cut the squid...

Students select a Colorado animal, develop a Directed Web page, and research their animal. Each member of the group combine their research and develop a Newsletter.

Students plan stations for a nature and fitness trail and construct an accompanying e-Book for extended descriptions at each station. Data on the human impact on the environment is gathered in this lesson.

Students examine plant and animal cells to observe the organelles present in the cell, to match the function of each to the organelle on a cell model and to build a model of the plant or animal cell.

Students investigate how humans impact the environment and compile an organism database into an e-book field guide. They name muscle groups and develop specific exercises to strengthen these groups. Students utilize technology for data...

Students explore the issue of climate change through participation in an interactive game show. They explore climate change issues in the news. Students write and discuss their own questions about climate change.
