In this PowerPoint, students compete in a quiz show game similar to Jeopardy in which they generate questions to match science facts in a number of categories. Science concepts covered include plants, animals, and matter. Due to the vast...

Students research animals found in the arctic. They discuss what living things need in order to survive and where they get their food. Students discuss the difference between producers and consumers and create a food web for animals in...

Students identify the Earth's natural resources. In this Earth science lesson, students read the book The Great Kapok Tree and discuss types of natural resources. Students use categories such as wood, paper, and trees and list items that...

Learners view the website known as http://www.kids4truth.com/eng_creation.htm and read the story of Creation. In this social science lesson plan, students discuss what the world looked like when it was perfect and then discuss the way...

Students explore how the number and types of organisms an ecosystem can support depends on the resources available and on abiotic factors, such as quantities of light and water, a range of temperatures, soil composition. They are...

Learners research and report on an endangered Utah species.

In this reading comprehension learning exercise, students read and complete a science cloze activity passage and then complete matching and short answer responses.

Students compare and contrast dinosaurs to animals that are alive today through basic research.

Sixth graders discuss how certain species and plants are deemed endangered. They work together in conservation recovery teams to research an endangered species. Then they explore efforts to make sure that the existence of these species...

Students use fossil range charts to explain relative dating. They graph for ammonites, marine organisms that went extinct at the same time as dinosaurs.

In this arthropods worksheet, students will review the 4 characteristics of arthropods and then use a lobster diagram to complete 2 short answer and 1 true or false question.

In this science worksheet, students research and discuss twenty key terms/areas/animals associated with being connected to endangered species and then locate and circle each one in a word search puzzle.

In this earth history worksheet, high schoolers visit a website and complete 15 fill in the blank and 8 short answer questions based on what they read. Topics include biodiversity, animal kingdoms, evolution, fossils, and extinction.

Students examine types of mycology methods. They practice using new vocabulary and answer key questions. They complete a field survey and analyze their results.

Second graders examine the formation of fossils and list the different types. They make cast model of a dinosaur fossil. They write about conditions that are necessary for fossils to form and create a model of a buried fossil.
