Explore structures within the realm of gas exchange in terrestrial and aquatic life.  The excellent, labelled diagrams and clear descriptions help your students view the different structures and adaptations that have developed. The 29...

A sequence map on the evolutionary development of vertebrates, a concept map on the endoskeleton, and several other questions about vertebrate adaptations are arranged on three pages for young biologists to complete. This can be used as...

Add a handy reference sheet about fish anatomy and functioning to your learners' biology or animal notebooks. Though this resource doesn't provide any practice, it makes a useful addition to any study of anatomy, biology, species, fish,...

Students analyze the similarities in different species. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students classify shoes to mimic the scientific categories of the classification system.

Students explore fish anatomy. In this fish anatomy and adaptation lesson, students define and identify the location of fish body parts. Students add these parts of a fish's anatomy to a life-sized fish costume worn by a student. ...

In this fish worksheet, students label the parts of a fish on a diagram and then describe the function of some of the anatomical parts of the fish. This worksheet has 11 fill in the blank and 5 short answer questions.

In this arthropods worksheet, students will identify 3 different arthropods and compare these organisms' breathing structures: gills, book lungs, and tracheal tubes. This worksheet has 3 fill in the blank and 6 short answer questions.

In this fish and amphibian characteristics worksheet, learners will two idea maps to compare fishes and amphibians. Students will complete 2 short answer questions based on these idea maps.

Students examine animal vocabulary words and identify which animals have those characteristics. In small groups, they play an animal card game involving more vocabulary words. Students continue to drill on terms by completing...

students explore the important scientific concepts, as well as other important topics surrounding fish morphology, their defense strategies, general fish characteristics, and their ecosystems.

In this fish worksheet, students review the characteristics of fish and compare and contrast bony fish with sharks. Students determine the function of different organs found in fish. This worksheet has 1 graph, 15 fill in the blank, 6...

For this word search puzzle worksheet, students find and circle all of the wildlife hidden in a word search puzzle. Students also classify the animals into groups of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, or amphibians.

In this fish and amphibian worksheet, students will compare a diagram of an invertebrate chordate with a diagram of a fish and complete 2 short answer questions. Then students will name four characteristics that allow amphibians to live...

In this fish instructional activity, students access a website to review basic fish anatomy and compare different fish characteristics. This instructional activity has 1 short answer and 7 fill in the blank questions.

Students explore the life cycle of living things through the eight lessons of this unit. The butterfly, frog, chicken, and plant are inspected and form the basis of the work done in this unit.

Learners are introduced to the unit on the importance of diversity of life and the role that interdependence plays in our worlds. this is part of a multi-lesson unit on the diversity of life.

Students are introduced to the variety of organisms in our world. this lesson plan is a part of a multi-segmented unit on specie diversity. this segment explores distribution of life on land and sea.

Learners are introduced to the basic characteristics of the animal kingdom. this lesson plan is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students explore the the members of a few phyla of the animal kingdom.

Learners study physical characteristics of separate phyla and place them into similar groups. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. students develop a classification system by grouping animals into...

Students create an animal by using physical characteristics to classify that animal in the Linnaean Classification System. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life.

Students change one animal group into another animal group by changing only a few body characteristics. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this session, students the basis of classification.

Students investigate the importance of dependency and diversity in a rain forest ecosystem. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life.
