Students examine the journey of the Pacific salmon. In this salmon species lesson plan, students review the stages of the salmon life cycle and conduct an experiment to determine how the water and habitat changes during each stage.

Students explore the ecosystem and food chain by researching Pacific Salmon. In this fish habitat lesson, students discover the life cycle for salmon, where they spawn and what they eat to survive the harsh elements. Students participate...

Students investigate the affect of non-native species on Pacific Salmon. In this non-native species and Pacific Salmon lesson plan, students participate in a competition and habitat loss game. They play the game in groups, while...

Students explore oceanography by researching migrating fish. In this Pacific Salmon activity, students participate in a board game activity in which they move a salmon through their annual journey to the spawning habitat upstream....

Learners study the diversity of marine life and their habitats.  In this aquatic ecosystems instructional activity students complete a lab activity and experiment. 

Students fill out a fact sheet and look at diagrams of BC's shore and the animals that live there. In this habitat lesson plan, students discuss the plants and animals and the different zones they live in.

Students create a mural of the food chain of the animals and plants of BC's rocky shore. In this food chain lesson plan, students also play a food chain matching game.

Learners collect species data from a mock intertidal community. In this biology lesson, students graph their data and analyze the species in it. They construct a species accumulation curve and present it to class.

Students study how scientists measure diversity.  In this diversity lesson students look at marine communities and look at data to calculate diversity in 3 different ways.

Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy instructional activity, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or...

Students examine the muscular system. In this muscular system lesson, students first draw a realistic representation of their leg or arm bones. Students do several activities to attach these bones to "joints" with string to simulate...

Fifth graders discover how blood moves around the body.  In this circulatory system instructional activity, 5th graders feel their pulse before and after exercise.  Students count their heart rate. Students use the scientific...

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

Young scholars create a model of the digestive system. In this human anatomy instructional activity the students examine features of the digestive system. The young scholars perform an experiment.

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

Second graders become familiar with the parts of the microscope and how it works.  For this microscope lesson, 2nd graders experiment with different light and settings.  Students answer questions based on their experiment.

Young scholars experiment with force and motion. In this force and motion instructional activity, students test gravity using a variety of objects. Young scholars rotate through a series of stations which use force, motion, friction, and...

Students participate in a science experiment to understand that matter takes up space.  In this matter lesson, students experiment with solids, liquids and gases to recognize that matter is everywhere. Students make observations and...

Young scholars experiment with balloons, soda water and raisins to find out about the states of matter.  In this solids, liquids and gases instructional activity, students complete a group activity with balloons to recognize the...

Students explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter lesson, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Students experiment with heating objects such as butter and...

Students recognize that some changes to matter are reversible and some are not.  In this matter lesson, students experiment a physical and chemical change. Students record experiment results in their science journals. Students act...

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  In this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

Students experiment with mixtures of matter. In this matter lesson, students investigate which liquids form a solution when mixed together and which do not. Students also identify which solids can be separated from matter.

Young scholars experiment with solids and liquids. For this mixtures of matter lesson, students combine matter to form solutions. Young scholars hypothesize, test, and analyze the data to draw conclusions. The lesson can be extended by...
