Students explore physical education by researching biology. In this survival techniques lesson plan, students discuss the methods turtles use to survive dangerous encounters and conduct a sea turtle role play exercise. Students identify...

In this science worksheet, students focus upon the concept of decomposition and collect data in order to make interpretations or observations.

In this English worksheet, students read "International Conference on Islam Openers," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students compare Lamarck's mechanism for evolution with Darwin's theory of natural selection.

Third graders compare and contrast the physical features of parents and offspring. In this life science lesson, 3rd graders classify a set of animal pictures according to their similarities. They share and explain their work in class.

Students test the factors that influence the rate at which a virus spreads through a population. They complete a lab activity then discuss data collected and review and answer a set of questions.

Young scholars decide if they agree with a series of statements about the bee population, then read a news article about the disappearance of millions of U.S. honeybees. In this biology and current events lesson, the teacher introduces...

Students identify the characteristics of an extreme environment in the deep ocean and consider what organisms need to survive in these elements. They research sampling and data collection methods in this environment.

Seventh graders explain the role of white blood cells in fighting infections. In this life science activity, 7th graders create flow charts showing the immune response process. They act out and play a game to simulate actions of the...

Eighth graders explore how different organisms pass their traits to their offspring. In this life science instructional activity, 8th graders differentiate recessive and dominant alleles. They predict the phenotype based on the genotype...

Students discover and discuss the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Using a microscope, they examine various prepared slides of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Students identify consumers and producers in different communities. Students collect a variety of soil samples and record organisms found in the samples.

Young scholars watch a video and answer questions based on wildlife jobs. In this wildlife lesson plan, students learn that biologists don't just play with animals but that there is a lot of study involved.

Young scholars compare the different classifications and explore how organisms are grouped.  In this classification lesson students study images of organisms and answer questions. 

Young scholars study a list of cars and trucks and think about characteristics that can be used to show an "evolutionary relationship". From the characteristics they identity, students construct a phylogenetic tree to show how the...

Students study the life and biology of the Channel Catfish. In this aquatic biology lesson, students will examine the external and internal features of the catfish along with their breeding habits and environment. This lesson includes...

Students explore organic compounds. Using humor, factual and conceptual correctness, students create a skit explaining organic compounds. Students include topics such as sugar, polymerization, unraveling of proteins, and substrates. ...

Students explore organic molecules in an unusual way. This allows students to incorporate this difficult knowledge into ways of thinking and exploring that they value. Students are placed in groups of four, with the attempt to include...

Students study their culture while filling in a chart that shows how culture meets basic human needs. They examine the role of archaeologists in studying people from past cultures.

Students explore how invasive species can change an environment. In this critical thinking lesson plan, students study how invasive animals can change an environments population. They will discuss the implications of an invasive species...

Students explore the functions of major eukaryotic organelles. They compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Given diagrams and drawings, students take turns drawing structures, discussing their function, and labeling...

Students examine ethical systems by discussing an ethical dilemma and illustrating different types of ethical decisions by role playing a written script and as a class discovering the type of thinking demonstrated.

Learners explore the basic biology of a pest. They identify the four major kinds of insect mouthparts and explain how they work. Students examine the specific mouthparts and how they can limit food resources and in what environment an...

Students study genes. In this biology lesson plan, students measure their handspan size to determine if one pair or many pairs of genes control that trait.
