Learners explore ocean habitats. In this oceanic environment lesson, students research various habitats in the ocean. Then, in a jigsaw format, learners teach others in the class about the habitat they researched.

Sixth graders research Lake Superior and its ecosystem. Students investigate the lake's cycles of mixing and stratification and how these cycles affect the biology of the lake. This lesson contains five days of activities.

Students perform experiments to explore differences in wind speed and forest density. Through experimentation and observation, students realize that changes in vegetation affect the atmosphere and wind conditions. They create a model...

Students select a stone and polish it. Throughout the process they demonstrate an understanding of rocks and fossil formation.

Students polish a Petoskey stone to show how to make an attractive rock display. In this polishing rocks lesson plan, students use sand paper and polishing materials to polish a rock and remove the rock dust. This is to display a nice...

Learners explore the role that the Arctic hare plays in the Canadian Arctic food web.

Eighth graders discuss the different types of ecosystem. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders explain the benefits and harm of fire. They research articles about bush fires or controlled burn instance and share it with the class.

Students consider how some animals, periodical cicadas, survive well in a particular environment due to the species' life cycle.

Middle schoolers explore concepts in life science using segments drawn from Discovery Channel. In this life science instructional activity, students participate in discussions about the food chain. Middle schoolers create a...

Ninth graders describe the six levels of ecological organizations and give examples of each. They also differentiate between food chains and webs and identify trophic and consumer levels in food chain and food webs.

Students study sea ice and its importance in climate and climate change. They discuss sea ice as a presence of a food source for marine animals in the arctic and complete a lab activity. After completing the lab, they watch a video...

Learners explore how animals survive in the winder. After attending a gall-collecting field trip, students place them in a freezer. Once frozen, the learners open the gall flay larva and observe it as the larva revives. Students...

High schoolers examine different samples of ice and predict the amount of snow that has fallen in a given year. Using a calculator, they graph the various thicknesses. They analyze the graphs to determine the relationship between the...

Fifth graders define words. They create a dichotomous key. After carefully examining pill bugs, 5th graders record observations. They compare and contrast habitats of pillbugs.

Combine science, math, and more using this resource. Learners use technology to share video and other information about their community with people throughout the state. They learn about the environment, identifying native plants, record...

Gravity is just one consideration when determining human habitability on a new planet. The lesson connects four different units and starts with connecting the various systems: planetary systems, human body systems, etc. After scholars...

Students study the characteristics of wetlands, and their importance to humans and wildlife.

Students examine the interactions with nature and the environment. They discover where water comes from and ways to conserve water. They also examine energy sources and consumption.

Learners describe the roles of controlled, manipulated and responding variables in scientific research. They also identify biotic and abiotic interactions affecting the makeup of a plant community.

Students review and discuss a given set of questions regarding ecosystems. They analyze essays, maps and historical documents on timber harvesting and regeneration and then complete worksheets.

Eleventh graders explore and compare Canadian biomes and investigate species at risk. They describe population growth and eco-regions in terms of climate and geography. They research and create presentations about the natural history and...

Student explore the patterns and characteristics of major landforms, climates, ecosystems and cultures as they interact upon specific areas or regions. They prepare a geographic analysis of a given area.

Students complete this instructional activity before visiting the National Museum of the Pacific War. They examine the patterns and characteristics of landforms, climates, ecosystems and cultures as they interact on areas or regions...
