Fifth graders examine what contaminated water looks like, and how it becomes polluted. They examine a teacher demonstration of water is not polluted but does contain rocks and other things that do need to be cleaned out before drinking...

Learners perform experiments to explore differences in wind speed and forest density. Through experimentation and observation, students realize that changes in vegetation affect the atmosphere and wind conditions. They create a model...

Fourth graders engage in a research project to increase their ability to conduct experiments, interpret data and discuss results in a scientific paper. After doing a lab which simulates effects of acid rain, pairs of students write a...

Students conduct an experiment to demonstrate how fruit fly populations are controlled by spiders. They observe a variety of environments with fruit flies and spiders and consider how vital spiders are to controlling the insect population.

In this natural environment worksheet, students cut out ways litter affects the beach environment. Students draw pictures in the boxes to match. Students then draw their favorite beach activity and list the things they can do at the beach.

Young scholars identify the components needed by plants to survive in the terrarium. In this biology instructional activity, students build their own terrariums using materials available. They present their project in class.
