Students examine the various sub-regions of the Arctic and Taiga zones in Canada. Using the online Canadian Atlas, they locate and describe the characteristics of each zone. They organize their information into a chart and share it with...

High schoolers investigate the concept of crop farming. They plant small fields to test different theories of agriculture. Students keep care over the fields, including pest and weed control. High schoolers make and record daily...

Students record observations of ladybird beetles and aphids. They develop questions concerning the behavior of ladybird beetles and aphids that are testable by a classroom experimentation. Students develop an investigation.

Students explore the changes in the Sequoia forest ecosystem. They evaluate reasons for the changes and discuss opposing views of human activity, logging and fire management practices. Students observe a video, describe the location of...

In this science learning exercise, students look for the words that are related to the concept of zoology that is reviewed in the sheet. They also acquire new vocabulary.

Students explore migration using the Internet and several pre-chosen websites. In this animal migration lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab activity.
