Students study the word habitat and its meaning. They also identify that in order for something to be classified as a habitat there needs to be the proper shelter, food, water, and space.

Learners experience and practice compositing and recycling through hands-on-activities. They distinguish between which items from their trash can be recycled, composted and reused. The process for making recycled paper is also covered in...

Learners read a recipe of beef jerky and explore the process. In this agriculture recipe lesson, students read the process and recipe for creating beef jerky. Learners also read a history of the American Plains Indians and their use...

Fifth graders explore how to use data and display it using a chart or graph. They use food choices for categories and then gather the data and use the provided chart for display. In small groups students discuss the data and the results.

Students participate in activities to determine their macro process and elaborative process abilities. During macro processes readers organize and summarize ideas as they read. They look at the big picture of the entire text as well as...

Students recognize that plants and soils have a close relationship. They view a photo essay on the common practice and natural process of composting. Afterwards, they observe the process of plant decay over the course of several days.

In this DNA worksheet, students access a website to learn about how single-celled organisms function successfully. Then students pretend they are a bacterium and determine how to transport lactose across their cell membrane for food....

Students explore the process of chemosynthesis and contrast this process with photosynthesis. They consider the relevance of chemosynthesis to biological communities in the vicinity of cold seeps.

Students explain they need food to live and grow. They discuss their favorite breakfast foods. They create a graph of breakfast foods.

Students explore the concept of paper recycling and the fiber that is yielded from the process. Students perform a coarse screening of recycled fiber and calculate the yield of the process.

Second graders explore the sodium content in foods they eat. After observing a table setting, 2nd graders then identify items made from rock. They taste low sodium crackers and compare them to regular crackers. Students discuss the...

Fourth graders examine how trees help to absorb the pollution that is emitted from automobiles. They review the process of photosynthesis and determine how forest management is important on their reservation. They think about the...

Students investigate how the loss of soil, a valuable natural resource, affects their lives through loss of productive land to grow food, loss of coastal land mass, and poor water quality from runoff. They design a project to keep soil...

Students investigate and explain the basic needs and life processes of plants. Key concepts include: living things change as they grow and need food, water, and air to survive. The reverse of the Kansas quarter serves as inspiration.

Learners study the process for diffusion of molecules. In this chemistry lesson, students understand molecular movement, develop skills for a chemistry investigation, develop skills in making hypotheses, develop observational skills, and...

Students observe the layering process of lava flow with hands-on activities.

Students investigate learning by bees as related to vision and foraging behavior. The experiment is done outdoors where bees are foraging for food. They make their observations and record their data which is shared with the class.

Learners describe the digestive system and simulate what happens to food as it passes through. They use an apple, tubing and hydrochloric acid to simulate the digestive process.

Third graders listen as the teacher reads "Where Food Comes From." They discuss the steps of making butter. Students work in groups to make butter by shaking a jar filled with whipping cream. As they shake, 3rd graders watch for the...

Students identify and interpret that leaves provide food for new trees and plants. Students cut out leaves and glue them on the appropriate number on included worksheet. Students collect different types of leaves and make leaf rubbings....

In this digestive system learning exercise, students answer a list of true/ false questions. The students answer questions based on their knowledge of each process of the digestive system.

Students draw a layout of their proposed terrarium. In this social studies lesson, students discuss how Mayans farm to produce food for the family. They compare their farming method with modern farming practices.

Students investigate the changes that occur at the molecular level when a liquid becomes a solid. They freeze water in baby jars and observe the changes that occur in the process.

Students explore and research what pork and beans, gangrene and denitrification have in common. They summarize that they all are the result of anaerobic bacterial action. Students analyze the chemical processes that are carried out by...
