Students consider the future of endangered species. In this conservation lesson, students view a slide show and use mathematical data to construct a prediction for the survival of an endangered species. This lesson includes, personal...

Second graders investigate the concept of Puerto Rican animals through using math word problems. They create a story to correlate with the word problems. The instructional activity also uses data of species counts to show increases and...

Students investigate how all links in the food chain are related. In this animal habitat lesson, students hypothesize about what would happen in the food chain if an endangered species were to become extinct. This lesson also includes an...

Students explore animals that are endangered. They choose an endangered animal that they would like to keep from becoming extinct. Students create a persuasive presentation to persuade someone to understand why they feel keeping their...

In this subtraction worksheet, student use a table of information to write equations and solve, then complete one related extension activity. 

Fourth graders represent a new predator on a population of colored worms. They mathematically determine the effect of the new predator on the survival and reproductive rates of the worms, simulating natural selection at work.

Students identify animals within a species by using their observation skills to record information, such as behavioral characteristics.

Eleventh graders practice the Quadrat Survey Technique to analyze the biodiversity of a local plant community. They compare its biodiversity with the documented changes in biodiversity of the tallgrass prairie over time.

Students model a paleontologist's activities. They identify dinosaur bones and reassemble them into a skeleton of an extinct reptile.

Students examine trees. In this tree lesson, students create a model of a tree and its parts.

Seventh graders simulate the capture-recapture method of population sampling using beans. For this biology lesson, 7th graders calculate the total population of beans in the bowl. They assess whether this method is reliable or not.

Students create graphs to illustrate the bald eagle population. They identify the population of bald eagles in Minnesota and the United States. They create three graphs to represent the population data including a line, bar, and...

In this line graphs worksheet, students read 2 line graphs and answer short answer questions about them. Students answer 5 questions for each graph.
