Hands on science is the way to go! Learners conduct a lab experiment to help them explain how plants make food through photosynthesis. They test for the presence of starch in leaves using iodine solution and identify the basic things...

Learners discover bacteria which is around them by using agar over three days. In this biology lesson, students predict what they will see over the three days and then take photographs of what is actually shown. Finally, learners write...

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

Young scholars discuss the importance of plankton in the ocean ecosystem. For this biology lesson, students identify the different types plankton by observing them under the microscope. They explain how plankton population affect global...

Students identify the different types of mushrooms. In this biology lesson plan, students explore different mushroom experiments they can do at home. They discuss ways to extend sliced mushrooms' shelf life.

Seventh graders describe the processes involved in mitosis and meiosis. In this life science activity, 7th graders create chromosome models using strings and beads. They play a jeopardy team game at the end of the unit to review concepts...

Students isolate DNA from different food sources. In this biology instructional activity, students research DNA extraction. They analyze DNA stands collected from the lab, and compare the differences between each.

Students analyze the factors affecting organisms in the pond ecosystem. In this environmental science lesson, students perform an experiment to determine pH, nutrients and temperature of different pond sites. They present their result to...

Students create a sustainable, self-contained ecosystem in a ten-gallon aquarium.
