Students explore orienteering and how to use a compass. They explore the importance of forests and identify some of the trees in a local forest.

Students are given an introduction to the "ecosystem", what factors make up an ecosystem (biotic factors, abiotic factors, food chain, producers, consumers and decomposers) and how those factors interact.

Students explore the relationship between producers and consumers. In this activity, they trace the ingredients in the foods they eat to plants. Supplement to Natureworks episode from New Hampshire Public Television, but activities may...

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

Pupils examine ecosystems and the variety of plants and animals that can be found in them.  In this plant identification lesson students identify the basic parts of a plant and categorize them according to their characteristics. 

Students identify and describe local poisonous plant/animals. They compare characteristics of three local ecosystems and describe common plants from different ecosystems; comparing shapes, colors, textures, and measuring sizes.

Students research biofilms and create brochures. They role play as advertising firm members assigned to educate the general public about biofilms. They create "wanted dead or alive" posters about harmful and helpful biofilms respectively.
