Students investigate the life cycle of ants, ladybugs, and butterflies. They list the four stages of the butterfly life cycle, define symmetry and observe how ants make homes in dirt.

Students construct a web of life. In this ecosystem lesson plan students are introduced to ecosystems and life cycles. Insects are the main focus.

Students construct and maintain a school garden. For this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

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

What a great way to introduce life cycles in your classroom! Kindergartners learn about chickens using visual aids, vocabulary lists, and more. If possible, you can have your class watch the process up close and personal by bringing in...

Fourth graders determine the impact of native forests, local clearcuts and local clearcuts and local reforestation projects on the survivablity of Rainbow Trout in their area. They record and document the stages of the trout throughout...

First graders learn the basic needs of plants and identify geometric shapes while planting a fall garden. Combining math and science in one lesson plan, the resource guides kids through starting their class garden as they...

Students plant seeds, observe and tend plants. They identify major plant parts, how to germinate and troubleshoot problems with plants; and, that plants need water, light, and soil nutrients to thrive. They create a Plant Growth Data Log.

Students explore biology by researching ocean statistics. For this data analysis lesson, students conduct a snail examination experiment utilizing live pouch snails. Students collect data about the snails over the course of six weeks and...

Students make a chart of the life cycle of the painted lady butterflies that the class observes over a period of several days.

After planting a bean seed in a jar, young scientists observe the growth patterns over several days. As the bean becomes a sprout, and the sprout becomes a plant, partners measure and plot the data. They notice patterns, practice...
