Ninth graders research the average temperature and precipitation of a prairie region to determine the type of climate it is, and how it differs from other biomes. They examine the types of adaptions animals have made to live in the...

Diversity in a biome leads to some unique characteristics vital to the natural environment. Young scholars use an interactive map to explore the vegetation and climate of the Gorongosa National Park. They collect climate data to compare...

Students explore Earth science by identifying environmental factors. In this biome lesson, students discuss the importance of a functioning ecology and design a biome diorama. Students utilize images of trees and plants which represent a...

Students explore Earth science by participating in an environment activity. In this biome activity, students discuss the importance of a healthy ecology in order to sustain life, both animal and plant. Students utilize a cardboard or...

Students use the internet to gather information on the biomes of the world. They identify the climate and unique characteristics of each biome along with any threat to them. They create their own campaign to preserve wildlife.

Young scholars calculate averages of climate sets of data. In this ecology lesson, students analyze data to determine identity of a biome and collect meteorological data to understand process.  Young scholars also compare data...

Students explore the worlds biomes and see how organisms adapt to these ecological communities.  In this world's biomes lesson students research and write a paper about one of the world's biomes. 

How many animals can live in a climate as cold as Mount Everest's? Find out with a science lesson all about biodiversity. Activities include research, presentations, group work, coloring maps, and a simulation of a food web.

Learners examine how the earth is divided into different biomes that are characterized by a distinctive climate.  In this earth's surface lesson plan students identify adaptations of plants in specific biomes. 

Students create a web connecting global warming, the Arctic, and wold climate. They write a paragraph explaining the role of the Arctic in world climate.

Young scholars study biomes and their major characteristics. For this biomes instructional activity students draw a climatogram and discuss climate of a specific area.

Learners research Earth science by conducting an experiment in class. In this ice-cap lesson plan, students identify what an ice cap is and create a biome using a box which measures 1 ft. x 1 ft. Learners participate in an animal...

Students create a miniature rainforest ecosystem, a terrarium. Students then explain how the continuous flow of energy and food in the ecosystem allows it to sustain itself.

Students identify and describe the main features of one land biome. After researching what a biome is, they give various examples of biomes around the world and in their backyards.

Young scholars discover how energy flows through communities because of the relationship between producers, consumers and decomposers. Examining various ecosystems, they identify the materials that cycle continuously through them. They...

Second graders examine the artwork of Robert Harris and discuss how trees are an important part of their lives. In groups, they discover how people's use of the environment has changed over time and describe the climate and vegetation...

Learners identify the biomes of the Earth and their characteristics. They discuss their favorite seasons and the weather. They share their favorites with the class.

Students explore, experience and experiment identifying the human impact on the environment of vegetative differences within the same biome. They assess what causes deserts, rain forests, savannahs, tundras and saguaros and how these...

Learners discuss the characteristics of the biosphere, with a focus on the Tibetan Plateau. They participate in a question and answer period discussing biomes and climate patterns. They compare and contrast different ecosystems.

Students explore Afro-American history. They identify the commonality between African, Carolinian and Cleveland Black culture. Students explore the water cycle, oceanography, hydrology and bio-geochemical processes. They discuss the...

Fifth graders visit the playground to look for signs of life. They search for insects, birds, animal tracks, feathers, nests, trees, soil, etc. They then compose a class list that shows all findings in the schoolyard and post it in the...

Learners examine how plants are able to adapt to their ecosystem and the role that fire plays in changes through the years.  In this ecosystem lesson plan students complete several exercises focussing on plants and their adaptations...

Students examine several maps of California exhibiting features such as precipitation, topography, and vegetation. They look for patterns that might be the source of or influence biodiversity in different regions. They pay particular...
