Students visit an interactive web page. In this food chain activity, students visit an interactive web page displaying an example of the food chain in Antarctica. As students move their mouse over the images, captions appear describing...

Students produce a newspaper covering topics related to food webs. They use print and electronic sources to gather information about specific animals. They share their information with the class.

Students work together to design and participate in experiments to determine the rate rotifers eat. After completing their experiments, they record and analyze their data and identify any challenges faced during the procedure. They...

The ways that animals adapt to their environments is quite remarkable. In this life science instructional activity, fifth graders take a look at some of the ways that aquatic animals that live in Arctic or Antarctic waters survive. They...

Students, in groups, create a slide show about the ecosystem and answer critical thinking questions based on their research.

In this lesson plan, young scholars will design experiments to gain some understanding of the feeding rates of Rotifers and/or Tardigrades. They will use organisms collected locally or provided by the teacher to explore differences...
