Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the best growing conditions for molds. In this life science lesson, 7th graders explain where molds are commonly found. They collect data and draw diagrams of their observations.

Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold.  In this bacteria lesson plan, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal.  Students create an...

Students use the scientific method to make predictions about mold growth. In this fungus activity, students use worksheets to help them illustrate predictions and graph mold growth from white to wheat bread. Students first...

Students design an experiment to determine the best conditions for molds growth. In this biology lesson, students collect data for a week and analyze their findings. They create a presentation and share them with the class.

Students create a mushroom spore design on paper while studying the facts on fungi.

Students make a mold using Plaster of Paris and then make a cast using that same mold. They pick a fossil and describe how it looks. They write a fictionalized story about its life, or burial. (

Pupils examine the effects of pesticides on the environment and bugs. They answer questions as an assessment.

Students put bread out on a plate for a few days and put it under a microscope when it begins to mold. In this rotting food lesson plan, students discuss eating old food and what it does to your body.

Students study the characteristics of yeasts. In this biology lesson, students conduct experiments to measure yeast respiration. They discuss the favorable conditions needed for growing them.
