Students examine pictures of different animals and decide if they eat meat and/or plants. They inspect models of pairs of upper and lower teeth and discuss which teeth are most useful for cutting grass and tearing meat.

Skulls tell it all, and with this lesson plan, you will tell it all to your class! Youngsters view animal skulls, analyzing the shape of teeth and the placement of the eye sockets. They associate these adaptations with the types of food...

Students conduct online research of different animals and their diet. In this animal lesson, students identify the various types of diets each animals has and their teeth. This research is done on the Internet.

Learners classify mammals as carnivores or herbivores. They look at a set of pictures of animal skulls, observing the shape and size of the teeth, and identify herbivores and carnivores.

Students view pictures of a variety of animals. They examine the animals' teeth and discuss the differences in them. They experiment with staple removers (carnivore teeth) and two flat rocks (herbivore teeth) and determine which are most...

Young scholars explore animal diets and teeth. In this animal science lesson, students view photos of animals and their teeth. Young scholars identify the type of diet the animal has based on the teeth. Students are introduced to the...

Students become aware why cleaning their teeth helps keep them strong and healthy. They study basic brushing techniques, what plaque is, how a cavity is formed, why having clean teeth is an important part of having a clean body and why...

Here is a fabulous lesson plan the animals found in the Sonoran Desert. Learners classify these animals as predators, prey, or both! They take a look at the many adaptations that these animals utilize to help them find food, and avoid...

Students explore whales. For this animal adaptation and whale lesson, students access prior knowledge about whales from previous lessons, then use background knowledge to predict the eating strategies of a baleen whale and a toothed...

Students review the parts of the eukaryotic animal cell and construct a model using various types of candy.

Fifth graders brainstorm a list of animals that live on the prairie, and classify them as predators and prey. They conduct interviews where they ask the animals what they need to look out for to sustain life on the prairie.

What can your class learn from a skull? With proper facilitation, they can learn about diet, physical adaptations, special differences, and even the environment. Pupils will examine a series of mammal skulls and pelts to help them...

Students study dinosaur teeth and bones to determine the creatures diet, size and shape.

Students recognize that some animals eat plants, some eat meat and some both.  In this who eats who lesson, students chart animals in a food chain.  Students research information from reading articles.  Students chart what...

Students practice identifying teeth. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the differences in teeth structure and how it determines what a specific animal eats by constructing a raccoon puppet.

Students study the teeth of living mammals and apply those skills to the interpretation of the diet of extinct animals.

In this unique animal association worksheet, students match up ten animal facts with ten pictures of various animals shown on the worksheet.

Students watch video and slide shows as an introduction to animals. They discuss classifications of animals while moving from most common to least common of the animals. Types of classifications includes herbivores/carnivores;...

Students examine the principles of adaptation using mouth structure of animals as an example. Students look specifically at the various shapes of beaks of birds and the bill of the platypus.

Students begin the lesson by observing animals in their natural habitat. Using the internet, they research the types of adaptations they have gone through to be able to live comfortably in their environment. They observe what they see on...

Students observe water birds feeding at a local wetland, record what they see, and construct an appropriate menu for a "Waterfowl Cafe." They also play a "flocking" game.

Students investigate the habitats of living things and the cycle of the food chain. In this scientific inquiry online lesson, students examine the habitats of plants and animals as well as the food chain as they sort pictures of living...

Students examine mammals understanding what a mammal is and reviewing the eleven mammal groups. In this science lesson, students play a game known as Mystery Mammal Game. Yet, first students research about the mammal and then give...

Students explore biology by writing fictitious stories in class. In this insect life instructional activity, students identify many different types of insects in the animal kingdom and the classifications they fall into. Students collect...
