With What Do You See at the Pond?, young readers explore pond life and practice reading strategies. Learners first make predictions and then read the simple story independently. After a second read-through with a partner, kids come...

Students explore pond ecosystems. For this living environment lesson, students observe the local pond and identify the living things they find by drawing pictures. Students observe organisms that were found in the pond by using a...

Students investigate the lives of frogs by completing several worksheets.  In this biology instructional activity, students discover the life cycle of a frog from tadpole to death.  Students complete frog life cycle puzzle as...

Young scholars investigate a frog's life cycle. In this tadpole lesson, students observe tadpoles in an aquarium and record results. Young scholars fill in a KWL chart as an assessment.

Young scholars explore aquatic life. In this science instructional activity, students visit an aquatic ecosystem and collect animals found there. Young scholars create a food chain for the aquatic ecosystem.

Learners take a hands-on approach to explore the world beneath the water in this activity. They examine the creatures they catch to study about the adaptations these animals have that allow them to survive in this harsh environment. They...

Students participate in hands-on activities to explore their natural surroundings. They recognize that ponds and woods are ecosystems and compare differences between the two. They identify trees by their bark and leaves.
