Students explore the forest. In this ecosystems lesson, students rotate through sensory activity centers, brainstorm, and read about temperate forests.

Students investigate the forest ecosystem to learn of the living and non-living elements of the soil. In this ecosystem lesson, students examine soil for twigs, moss, fungi, leaves, roots and other matter.   Students...

Students examine how water is treated prior to becoming available for human consumption. For this water treatment lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they filter water. Students formulate a hypothesis, test, analyze data, and...

Students investigate the life cycle of the 'o'opu also known as Hawaiian gobies.  For this amphidromous living lesson, students discuss the reproductive cycle, create props and an obstacle course to demonstrate the importance of the...

Students describe the three types of underwater robots and the advantages and disadvantages of using them.  In this underwater lesson students are given a task and identify the best robot for the job. 

Students examine the differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis.  In this cellular processes instructional activity students complete a group lab activity to see how climate change affects their lives. 

Students investigate how plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. In this biology activity, students differentiate photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They discuss the important role of plants in the environment.

Students explore how allelopathy works in plants. In this botany lesson, students explain how this phenomenon affect other organisms. They read and analyze an article about allelopathy and discuss its flaws.

Students conduct a variety of experiments on photosynthesis. In this biology lesson, students identify the factors required for the process to occur. They perform computerized experiments to test the amount of oxygen produced when plants...

Students identify the different requirements for photosynthesis to take place. In this space science activity, students simulate conditions in Saturn to investigate if photosynthesis is possible there. They use data and observations...

Environmental explorers create an experiment related to ponds and then present their finding to the class. This resource is extremely open-ended. It needs more concrete objectives and procedures for meeting them.

In this protist worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle with 34 questions about the behaviour and different types of protists.

Students visit a local park to test the quality of the aquatic environments. They search for sources of pollution and examples of pollution control. Based on their obeservations and experiments, they rate their local environment.

In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to biology. The word list includes protists, viruses, plants, spiral, and biotechnology.

In this algal blooms worksheet, students order the stages of a red tide. They answer two short answer questions. Students define three terms relating to algal blooms.

Young scholars examine the experiment of Lloyd Godson who lived 13 days underwater. In this critical thinking lesson, students predict, study and discuss various aspects of the underwater voyage. The lesson includes many cross-curricular...

Students compare and contrast deep sea coral reefs to shallow water reefs.  In this coral reef lesson plan students develop a poster that could be used to educate the public about the importance of coral reefs. 

Students work as a team to gather organisms from a stream to evaluate if the water quality is excellent, good, or fair to poor.

Pupils observe brine shrimp eggs, create an appropriate environment for their survival, and observe their growth.

Students explore the classification system in this seven lessons unit. The diversity of life forms and their characteristics are examined using a microscope. Kingdoms, classes, and families are investigated.

Students identify the main parts of a coral reef. They describe a coral reef food chain.

Students discuss why it is important to take care of streams, what is non-point source and point source pollution, what are some causes of pollution in streams, and what can we do to prevent some of these causes of pollution? They steam...

Seventh graders look up pictures of viruses or pictures of models of viruses. Using pipe cleaners, beads, Styrofoam or other available materials make models of these shapes. They then observe a demonstration to show the effect of Tobacco...

The student will identify the difference in the rate of plant growth in three soils that vary in organic matter.1. Obtain three to four flowerpots, different types of soil, a record chart, three to five beans for each pot, and water....
