Students be complete a collection of living organisms and systems from the school campus.

In this species worksheet, learners use a dichotomous key to identify the 8 different species of "Norns," a fictitious animal group.

Students classify objects and organisms seen on the Wakulla Springs icam website as living or nonliving.

Young scholars explore natural selection and its influence on the populations to fine tune traits and characteristics. The acquisition of traits developed out of need is examined through a game played in class.

Students examine how plants are able to adapt to their ecosystem and the role that fire plays in changes through the years.  In this ecosystem activity students complete several exercises focussing on plants and their adaptations to.

Eleventh graders identify the parts of an ecosystem and how communities change over time.  In this ecology lesson students formulate a habitat restoration plan.

Students explore vermicomposting, the species of worms needed and the proper climate for it.  In this composting lesson students make their own worm compost bin. 

Students acquire a general knowledge of fossils and paleontology, the study of evidence of life in the past and identify the major invertebrate groups (phyla) commonly found in the fossil record.

Learners experiment with pea pods to observe/appreciate the diversity of individuals within a population, and to explain of how dominant and recessive traits, genotypes, and phenotypes help produce variation in a population.

Fifth graders identify the species of plants and animals found in an environment. They compare these findings to plant and animal species found in an unlike environment. Students acquire and compare soil samples from the two sites chosen.

Sixth graders participate in an activity in which colored jelly beans represent fish in a lake--10 green jellybeans per "lake" representing tagged fish. They draw from the beans (fish) and record the number of tagged fish they draw...

Students compare wolves' behaviors to those of the human race.  In this wolf lesson students write a story that will show that wolves are either good or evil.

Students study wolves and their habitat in Yellowstone.  In this environment and behavior lesson plan students create an interactive map of wolves in Yellowstone.

Students study the life of Jane Goodall and how she made an impact studying chimpanzees.  In this endangered species lesson students write in their journals.

Students examine the different species that are headed towards extinction.  In this animal population lesson plan students compare the causes of extinction, research an endangered species and present an oral report. 

Young scholars explore the adaptations that birds have.  In this adaptations lesson students view a video and create a concept map of birds and their adaptive traits.

Students experiment with traits. In this Science lesson plan, students test the strength of beetles using M&M candies in lieu of the insects. Students use the Hardy-Weinberg Equation to calculate possible offspring traits of further...

In this animal classification instructional activity, students will review the characteristics used in classifying animals including the development of animals. Students will compare the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. This...

In this evolution worksheet, students will complete a table by writing in the era and biological event based on 4 different time periods of Earth's history. Students will answer 8 fill in the blank questions based on the different origin...

In this plant worksheet, students will review plant classification by comparing plant characteristics. Students will determine what is needed for photosynthesis to occur. Students will also explore plant transpiration and the...

In this plant classification worksheet, students compare plants with flowers and plants with cones by filling in the blank of 7 statements.

In this classification worksheet, students write in examples of the 6 kingdoms: archaebacteria, eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this igneous rock worksheet, student fill in 25 blanks to complete sentences about types of igneous rock, classification of igneous rock, components of igneous rock and how the types of igneous rock are formed.

If used as a center activity, this short presentation could be a motivating way for learners to review material relating to plants, the circulatory system, and more. However, there are only nine questions. It would be more useful if...
