For this bones worksheet, students list and describe the functions of bones and give examples for each. Then they compare and contrast the microscopic structure of compact and spongy bone. Students also list the types of fractures and...

Students identify what plants need to grow. In this plant biology lesson, students analyze the differences between an artificial plant and a live plant. Students plant seeds and discuss what plants need to grow. Students observe the...

Students explore pond ecosystems.  In this pond organism activity, students will use pond water and a plastic bad in order to locate and identify freshwater organisms.  The activity is designed for younger grades, but...

Students explore various types of algae found in Hawaii. In this science lesson, students research species of the three types of limu and identify various uses. Students explore products that contain limu.

Learners examine the basic structures and functions of cells. They design and construct a factory cell model where each factory part corresponds to a cell part.

Learners identify the common prefixes and suffixes used in the English language. They dissect a word into its various (root, prefix, suffix) parts and use a dictionary to determine the proper usage and derivation of each word part. ...

Students identify via slides prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They identify plant or animal cells from slides or pictures. Students are given the question of the day. They are asked which has a nucleus, a prokaryotic or eukaryotic...

Eighth graders explain what makes up matter.  In this atoms lesson students define an atom and what its components are and identify properties of elements. 

Young scholars explore biology by writing fictitious stories in class. In this insect life lesson, students identify many different types of insects in the animal kingdom and the classifications they fall into. Young scholars collect...

Students engage in snow-related activities during the first winter snowfall. After explaining the elements needed for it to snow, they preserve snowflakes on frozen slides and observe them under a microscope. Then, they write diamante...

Students examine the animals that live in trees. They identify their sounds, footprints and droppings. They draw pictures of the animals as well.

In this lab worksheet, high schoolers dissect a barn owl pellet then identify the different small animals found in the owl pellet. Using class data they calculate percentage present as well as complete 8 post lab questions.

In this marine science worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle with 32 questions on sponges and cnidarian. They identify the different characteristics of sponges and cnidarian.

In this chemistry worksheet, students fill in 10 blanks with the appropriate term, they determine if 4 statements are true or false, they match 6 terms with their definitions and they answer 3 questions. Topics include areas of chemistry...

Students make simple plankton nets and use them to collect and identify common forms of plankton. They identify and interpret plankton, as seen under a microscope, whether there was more zooplankton or phytoplankton. Finally, students...

Young scholars identify the different parts of the cells and their functions. For this biology lesson, students create an analogy of a cell and its organelles. They make a poster and present it to class.

Learners identify consumers and producers in different communities. Students collect a variety of soil samples and record organisms found in the samples.

Students participate in a game in which they discover the balance of life in the ocean. They identify different organisms that rely on different types of food. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students identify the different parts of a tree. In this biology lesson, students investigate how mountain pine beetles kill trees. They examine the beetles' anatomy using a microscope.

Young scholars use a written key or illustrated key to identify fungi on plant leaves into its genus based on sexual or asexual reproduction, host range diversity, and host-parasite relationships.

Students recognize and identify major groups found in the Arctic benthos. They describe common feeding strategies used by benthic animals in the Arctic Ocean. They discuss relationships between

Students identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They describe different species associations in a benthic community.

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. For this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.

Students prepare single strands of muscle cell. They microscopically examine muscle cells and identify bands of darker and lighter proteins. They predict, observe, describe and quantify the effects of ions and ATP.
