Sixth graders explain how soil and plants effect contaminated water in nature.  In this filtration lesson plan, 6th graders work in groups to test biofiltration units. Students determine which biofiltration units work best and how...

Learners trace the history of the development of Eugenics. For this social studies lesson, students read and analyze a real life case. They write a paper about what they read.

An overview of the five kingdoms within the biological classification system is presented in this set of five slides. The first lists the objectives of the slide show, and the second gives general characteristics of plant, animal, and...

Students predict the characteristics of future offspring using punnet squares. In this genetics lesson, students explore monohybrid crosses using an interactive website. They research about causes of blueness in people.

Do you have young scientists wanting to make new discoveries rather than just completing the same experiments? Young scientists use their observational skills to identify animals and patterns in animal behavior. Through tracking...

Learners study laboratory protocol for hemagglutination experiments.

Students investigate the effect of day length on animal migrations. They view a Powerpoint presentation, identify their own personal migrations and cues, answer discussion questions, and test a hypothesis about seasons.

Students explain the complexity of resource, land use, and conservation decisions.

Students construct plankton nets to be towed and collect specimens to be examined and analyzed in the classroom. They develop research skills through collection of an aquatic sample. They write lab reports after interpreting, identifying...

Pupils study the habitats found in their schoolyard. They apply firsthand, what they have learned in the classroom to something familiar to them. Students look at biotic, abiotic habitats. Small groups will present their findings to...

In this rubric worksheet, students are provided with 4 different scoring categories. Each category is broken into specific tasks they will be graded upon.

Students discover through this activity that all organisms are composed of water. They find that 70 percent of their bodies are made up of water that is in thier cells and blood, and not free-flowing throughout their body.

In this science activity, high schoolers identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to the sciences in the word search. Then they write each on the corresponding line to the right of the puzzle.

Students explain how biceps and triceps work. In this life science lesson, students conduct an experiment to test which muscle (biceps or triceps) is stronger. They calculate class average from the result.

Second graders examine various types of butterflies and insects around their school. They identify differences between beetles and butterflies. Students examine books about butterflies, complete symmetry drawings, and make ladybug key...

Students discuss the stages of meiosis. In this life science lesson, students create an illustration of each stages. They write a short story about a character that went through meiosis.

Students investigate and then build neurons in this lesson plan. They are examined as key parts of the brain and nervous system and seen as different from normal cells.

Students use the internet to introduce themselves to the anatomy of a fetal pig. In pairs or individually, they work their way through a virtual dissection of a fetal pig while completing questions on a study guide. They also develop...

In this human reproduction worksheet, students will review the male and female anatomy and the hormones involved in the development towards sexual maturity. Students will also review the events that occur during the three phases of the...

Young scholars encounter an interactive computer program activity designed as a diagnostic of student beliefs related to the theory of evolution. Students process the Hypercard cascades structured around a set of biological topics...

Students explore how the energy flow through a system is related to trophic levels. They investigate how organisms affect the cycling of elements and water through the biosphere. Students participate in lab activities to observe ways...

Students compare and contrast photosynthesis and chemosynthesis as sources of primary production for biological communities, and describe sources of primary production observed in biological communities associated with volcanoes of the...

Young scholars communicate the biological basis for an aspect of a public health issue in a visual manner. They use the basics of a variety of diseases and epidemics to create their Public Health poster and service message.

Students explore ethical systems. Students read fairy tales and Bible stories to identify examples of ethical systems. Students brainstorm and discuss movies, songs and poems that exemplify ethical system.
