Students study the interdependence of an ecosystem that allows it to sustain itself. They examine the Western lowland gorillas for an example.

Students examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile lesson students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

Students explore the evolution and features of bacteria through a series of activities. In this biology lesson, students collect data and graph bacterial growth. They design a brochure about bacteria's role in society.

Students participate in a demonstration designed to illustrate how easily and quickly a person can be conditioned to respond to external stimuli. Students look at numerous ways in which conditioned behavior affects their day to day...

In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to the biology. The word list includes colon, esophagus, masseter, aorta, and pinnae.

In this body systems lesson, young scholars work in small groups conduct research to become an 'expert' on one of the 7 body systems. Students present their findings to the class via power point, poster, or song.

Learners investigate foods. In this biology lesson plan, students will conduct testing on different types of foods as they learn about different molecules that make them up. Learners will also learn about the shapes of the molecules.

Learners examine the role earthworms play in building soils. They discuss worms and what they do with soil, make predictions and draw pictures, and observe their worms in soil over a two week period.

Learners examine contagious diseases. They explore different types of bacteria and the illnesses they cause.

Young scholars examine the basics of the nervous system through an interactive program. They discover how the brain is linked to muscle movement. They can test cells through the interactive program to see how it reacts to different stimuli.

Students break into four groups, starting at different stations. Each station should take about 10 minutes depending on prior knowledge of the topic. They then rotate when everyone is finished to the next station and discuss answers of...

Pupils listen to a story about seashells. They discuss shelled animals. Learners describe the function of seashell. Pupils relate the function of a seashell to their own dwelling. They differentiate between shelled animals that make...

In this amazing arthropods worksheet, students read for information and assess comprehension. In this true and false, fill in the bank, multiple choice and short answer worksheet, students write answers to ten questions.

In this living organisms worksheet, 6th graders choose the multiple choice answer to 10 questions. Students then read and answer 10 statements as true or false and fill in the blanks to 5 statements.

In this homeostasis learning exercise, students answer twelve questions about positive and negative feedback loops and how they effect homeostasis.

In this prokaryote learning exercise, students answer ten questions about prokaryote cells and they color a diagram of a simple bacteria cell and its structures.

In this biology learning exercise, students complete 20 fill in the blank questions about eukaryotic cells. They identify the parts and functions of cell organelles.

Learners explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system lesson, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

Students investigate the nervous system.  In this anatomy lesson, students identify and define vocabulary related to the nervous system. Students role play the parts of a nervous system and perform an experiment measuring and...

Second graders discuss worm composting. In this decomposition instructional activity, 2nd graders look at the anatomy of the worm and how it eats food. They have their own worm bin and review what foods can and can not be given to the...
