Mini mycologists plan an experiment to determine what affects the growth of mold on gelatin. A list of available materials is provided, but the procedure needs to be designed by the lab group. A data table is also provided in...

Students explore the diet of insects. In this "insects" biology lesson, students take a nature walk and collect various natural materials they think may be eaten by insects. Students sort and classify these materials into three diet...

Students list and describe three types of surface water pollutants. They observe the effects of various water pollutants on algae growth. Three causes of each surface water pollutant is listed.

Fourth graders study the components of soil. They observe the basic components of soil and relate the components to plant growth. They record color, texture, and kinds of materials on their profile log (light color, denser, grittier -...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve a pattern or sequence using geometric and arithmetic formulas. There are 21 questions on 5 different sections.

For this exponential functions worksheet, students solve and complete 20 various types of problems. First, they graph the function and state the domain and range. Then, students tell whether the graph represents exponential growth or...

Students solve equations by graphing. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.

For this graphing functions worksheet, students write functions in logarithmic and exponential forms.  They evaluate logarithms and determine the inverse of a function.  Students graph functions.  This six-page worksheet...

For this ecological succession worksheet, high schoolers answer questions about the process of succession in four ponds given diagrams and descriptions.

Students examine the role earthworms play in building soils. They discuss worms and what they do with soil, make predictions and draw pictures, and observe their worms in soil over a two week period.

In this Pre-calculus learning exercise, learners solve advanced logarithmic and exponential equations. The seven page learning exercise contains thirty-two problems. Answers are not provided.

Students dramatize the oral disease process caused by bacteria which leads to tooth decay.

Fourth graders research soil layers and create a soil profile in a jar.  In this soil profile lesson, 4th graders working in groups, research a given layer of soil, make a 3-5 minute presentation to the class, and complete a...

Students explore the dose response principle, an introduction to what the "natural log" (ln) is and how it behaves. They create and analyze a dose response graph.

Using computers, Students work in small groups and progress through the roles of Explorer, Researcher, Designer, and Evaluator as they study the life cycle of plants, insects, butterflies and frogs.

Seventh graders investigate the practice of purchasing a used car with the help of links and resources found in the lesson plan. They conduct research to find the right kind of car using a variety of resources. Students examine data in...

In this water worksheet, students read an excerpt about the effects of pollution on the life cycle of a lake. Then they describe how lakes are affected by the pollution. Students also define why pollution has become such a problem for...

Students create a definition of eutrophication.  In this organic material lesson students work together to create a storyline.

In this logarithm worksheet, students read story problems, write an equation to solve the problem, and leave the answer in logarithm or exponential form. They find the derivative of given functions. This two-page worksheet contains six...

In this absolute time activity, students define radiometric dating, tree rings and varves as means to measure absolute time. They are given information about each of these methods of dating.

Pupils visit a local park to test the quality of the aquatic environments. They search for sources of pollution and examples of pollution control. Based on their obeservations and experiments, they rate their local environment.

Pupils 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.

Pupils 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. Pupils collect different types of leaves and make leaf rubbings....

Students describe different types of water pollutants. They complete experiments in which they observe the affects of water pollution on algae. They also brainstorm and list three causes of each water pollutant.
