For this animals' adaptation to their environment worksheet, students read for comprehension and ability to apply knowledge. In this T-Chart and creative activities worksheet, students answer three questions.

Students investigate ecosystems near their school and across the world. They examine both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) elements of each. They recognize ecosystems from various continents around the globe. The use of computers...

Students categorize animals according to their natural biomes using biome and animal flashcards.

Students explore different habitats. In this habitat lesson plan, students investigate four different habitats through participating in a WebQuest. Students create an animal web using Kidspiration or a video documentary upon completing...

Sixth graders complete a five-week unit investigating the eight major biomes of South America. They conduct Internet research, collect short-term and long-term climate data, and create a HyperStudio slideshow stack about a selected biome...

Students discover that the Earth supports many different animal habitats. In this habitat lesson students research different habitats of the world. Students show how the animals in their habitat are adapted.

Learners investigate the climate of their region. Students research statistics and conduct interviews. Learners take a virtual tour of Ghana and discuss its climate. Students consider water conservation and the role it plays in both...

Students collect weed seeds from three varieties of weeds (knapweed, thistle, or toadflax, for example they may choose others in addition to the spotted knapweed.) They sterilize soil for thirty containers, plant seeds in sterile soil,...

In this camel activity, students study the diagram for an Arabian camel otherwise known as a dromedary. Students read the characteristics of the animal and may click on associated links to learn more.

First graders read books, complete online explorations and discuss the ways in which animals adapt to their habitats in order to survive. They create accordion books, play matching games and dramatize animal adaptations.

Students measure and analyze leaves from various environments. They discuss the environments, and make inferences about environmental variables that could have contributed to the differences in leaf size and texture.

Students identify how they depend on others, and examine and discuss the images on the California Quarter Reverse. They view and discuss images of various habitats, complete a Habitat Research worksheet, and create a habitat diorama.

Young scholars explore the Earth's various biomes and ecosystems using Internet research. They create a multimedia poem using the photos, sounds, and vocabulary from their research.

Students organize different species of plans and animals according to various characteristics. Students then determine what characteristics enable them to survive in their habitat. Game ideas and activities are included.

Students explore what is special about our planet. They explore the various climates that are found on the planet Earth. Students create an advertisement to convince people why their favorite environment would be the best place to visit.

Students study the balance necessary to maintain ecosystems and how changing that balance can impact the ecosystem. They identify and discuss the need for balance in any ecosystem and discuss how greenhouse gases impact ecosystems.

Third graders read several nonfiction texts and practice finding the main idea for the text as well as learn about various habitats. For this main idea lesson, 3rd graders read several nonfiction texts and make habitat cards. Students...

Students use the folk singer Woody Guthrie's song 'This Land is Your Land' to learn about the responsibility of every person to take care of each other and the land. In this land preservation lesson, students sing the song, learn...

Students research different biomes, using links from global pen pal letters.

Fifth graders use scientific skills and processes to recognize how living things depend on one another and on the environment for survival and the human use of natural resources impacts the environment. Explain how Earth's surface...

In this invertebrates worksheet, learners read about the characteristics of the different groups of invertebrates. Then students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Students work in teams to characterize their biomes and compare them to the biomes of the rest of the class. In this biomes lesson plan, students complete a bean activity, relate it to the diversity in biomes, and then research and...

In this bacteria quiz worksheet, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions covering a variety of concepts related to bacteria. A reference web site is included for additional resources.

Students learn the mechanisms of natural selection by deducing information from the physical appearance of the animal.
