Students investigate how plants grow by analyzing pumpkins. In this agricultural instructional activity, students read The Biggest Pumpkin Ever by Steven Kroll, and draw pictures of a pumpkin in each of its growing stages. Students...

Learners explore the life cycle of plants. In this agricultural lesson, students discover the two ways that seeds germinate. Learners dissect seeds and record data. Resources are provided in French and English.

Learners investigate the growth of seeds. In this agricultural lesson, students dissect a bean and corn seed and identify the parts of the seed. Learners observe the development of a pinto bean seed and record observations on the...

Students construct a food web based on the animals found inside owl pellets. In this owls lesson plan, students research and describe the characteristics of owls as well.

Searching for a simple igneous rocks experiment to assist pupils with rock classification based on texture and composition? In the activity, pupils view multiple rocks in various ways to determine texture and composition. They then...

One of the reasons plants found success on land relates to seed development. Scholars learn about many different forms of seeds and how they changed over time. It describes the structure and function of many different types of seeds in...

Pupils are introduced to different types of owls and owl pellets. They list several adaptations that benefit the owls. Students identify the various species of owl that live in Wisconsin. Pupils discuss owl pellets and identify the...

Students utilize owl pellets to explain part of the natural food chain, and the skeletal system. They construct a rodent skeleton from the skeletal parts foundin the pellet.

Fifth graders research the earthworm and write a one paragraph report on its anatomy and habitat. They learn about worms and how to dissect them through Video Streaming and virtual dissections, along with actually dissect a worm as...

Seventh graders perform a dissection on a mussels and label their internal organs. In groups, they compare and contrast the mussels structure to those of human beings. They also review the functions that are necessary for survival and...

Fifth graders read a dissection article and complete close reading activities for the text. For this reading skills lesson, 5th graders read an interactive frog dissection article in teams. Student teams complete a KWL chart and...

Students dissect internal female reproductive organs and take digital pictures that are exported onto a disc for use with power point technology.

Learners discover the world of owls as predators. After watching a video of owls hunting and eating, are introduced to owl pellets. Students dissect their own pellet and match the prey's bones to a bone diagram.

Second graders explore bird classification, specifically owls. They dissect their own owl pellet and explain the predetor and prey relationship.

Students demonstrate the proper usage of the compound and dissecting microscopes. They identify the parts of a flower and the functions of the flower parts. Students describe the process of gamete formation and fertilization in a flower.

Students rotate axes to eliminate the xy-term and illustrate the dissectible cone as needed. They also discuss the discriminant for the second degree equation in two variables, as well as the translation of axes and rotation of axes....

Students examine a cookie that represents pumice and lava in order to realize that lava is a composite of many rock particles. They compare and contrast pumice to the cookie by estimating, weighing, measuring and dissecting the cookie...

Students discover what type of effect that pesticides have on earthworms. They use three different types of pesticide and examine the external and internal effects that each have on earthworms. They maintain earthworms in habitats...

Twelfth graders make a number of ionic crystals. They compare a preserved snowflake to the physical properties of the ionic crystals. They apply qualitative observations and drawings in their discussion of the similarities between ice...

Students explore plant and seed structure. They dissect a seed and identify its parts. In addition, they explain the function and compare and contrast monocotyledon and dicotlyledons.

Students analyze and chart what risks are involved on school field trips. Students devise a study trip to take and dissect at the end of their findings. Students scale the conditions of what a risk is and we can manage them in the future.

Students dissect an apple to model the percentage of land on Earth that can be used as a food-producing resource. They use fractions to determine the habitable and agriculture area of the apple.

Students observe the development of the Drosophila fly. They observe the first two stages - the egg and the 3 larval instars. They observe the culture every day for 8 days using a stereo dissecting microscope.

Young scholars explore the basics of ecology through numerous hands-on and relevant activities. They participate in an online food chain demonstration, which explores food web dynamics. They dissect owl pellets, examine the prey's...
