Students explore the needs of plants.  In this plants biology instructional activity, students work in groups to perform an experiment with tomato plants.  Each group records observations in a journal, takes pictures, and...

Students evaluate their differences, then look at differences in plants. In this class team building and life science lesson, the class play a game that focuses on similarities and differences in the group, then students plant three...

Fourth graders complete three activities. In this water supply instructional activity, 4th graders learn that water can exist in different forms and watch a demonstration of each form. Students explore the water cycle and make a water...

Students role-play how organisms adapt to their environment. They play 20 questions with plant and animal habitats. They create a web of life to demonstrate how each plant and animal relies on the other for survival.

Students participate in a hands-on experiment with different soil structures and the ability of each to carry a specific load. Students take a core soil sample and describe its content layers. Students stand bricks in the soil overnight...

Students research one of the commercial crops grown in Saskatchewan. For this agriculture lesson, students discover locations, characteristics, common problems, and biotechnological developments related to the crops of Saskatchewan.

In this science worksheet, students answer the questions in order to master and identify the steps of the scientific method for each problem. There are various types of puzzles to be solved also.

Students explore the importance of fruits and vegetables in our diets. In this science activity, students discuss various types of fruits and vegetables. Students play the good health=good diet game. Students discuss types of fruits and...

Students collect and examine different soil samples. They test for specific types of soil elements and the pH level. They answer questions about optimum growing conditions as well.

The techniques for preparing soil before laying, or seeding, a lawn is covered in this set of slides.  Ideal pH, fertilizer, and drainage is described.  Details of the best seed type for different conditions are also...

Here is a very fun idea that introduces young learners to how geographical location affects cultural development. They are introduced to four areas where Native Americans have lived in the past by reading stories and examining images....

Ecology explorers collect soil and invertebrates from a monoculture and a polyculture area. They relate the number and types of invertebrates to the surrounding environmental conditions. This activity can be used as an introduction to...

Students discover soil and Earth movement by experimenting in class.  In this Earth Science lesson, students utilize a stream table, soil, graduated cylinder and water to create a re-enactment of a landslide.  Students simulate...

Pupils observe how plants recycle themselves, and discuss different types of propagation.

Young scholars investigate protozoa. In this protozoa lesson, students identify and classify different types of protozoa using different ecological samples and protozoa charts.

High schoolers participate in a lab activity in which they examine the permeability of different soils. They examine the soil's composition and make predictions about the permeability of the soils. They share their observations to the...

Students complete a variety of activities related to the physical characteristics of minerals. They classify and group candy, classify rocks and complete a Pet River Rock worksheet. Students try to guess which rock goes with each...

Students participate in several activities on seed exploration. In this biology lesson, students classify seeds according to their dispersal method. They explain the different adaptations plant have to disperse their seeds.

Students investigate how soil composition affects plant growth. In small groups, they plant various seeds in different soil mixtures, record plant and seed growth, and analyze the results.

Students examine each soil sample and record observations. In this biology lesson, students design an experiment to test soil flow rate. They write a lab report about the experiment.

Young scholars investigate peanuts. In this science lesson, students explore the properties of the peanut and shell. Young scholars burn a peanut to observe the peanut oil. Students taste test different types of peanut butter.

Students develop an independent procedure to investigate the germination of two types of seeds. Students must construct data tables or charts to record observations and results, graph the data, and analyze the data.

Young scientists weave together an understanding of ecosystems with this fun collaborative activity. Taking on the roles of different living and non-living elements of specific habitats, learners use a ball of yarn to create...

Not all dogs are the same just like not all finches are the same. An interactive online lesson helps individuals learn about the causes and limitations to biodiversity. The clickable sections describe the basics of the genetics of...
