Immerse your young marine biologists in the world of marine animals. The lesson includes several activities that are age-appropriate for preschoolers and kindergartners, including coloring pages, gluing feathers and sand onto paper...

Here is an unusual collection of slides. The first, which is upside down, is the phylogeny of fish. Next comes an article about invasive lampreys in the Great Lakes area. The third slide shows the life cycle of sea lampreys. A reptilian...

Students explore the ecosystem and food chain by researching Pacific Salmon. In this fish habitat lesson, students discover the life cycle for salmon, where they spawn and what they eat to survive the harsh elements. Students participate...

Pupils have discussions and complete activities about the pacific salmon life cycle and marine parasites. In this salmon lesson plan, students complete activities such as observing sea lice, playing a tag game, and a board game.

Pupils read aloud a play script in a group to research the water cycle. They take the parts of raindrops. The amount of raindrops can be adjusted to fit group size.

Pupils, individually or in groups, conduct research to find information needed to complete a worksheet in which they must match an animal name with 1) the name of its offspring (dog-puppy) and 2) its animal group name (geese-gaggle.)

Students write books about trout, completing one page per life stage.

Students examine how frogs change. In this life cycle activity, students create a model to show how a frog changes throughout its life. Students will show the process of frog metamorphosis, from polliwog to adult frog.

For this cnidarian worksheet, learners study the biology of the different species of cnidarians and complete a series of questions.

In this fish worksheet, students access a website to learn more about the common insects eaten by fish. Then students draw and label three types of insect life cycles. This worksheet has 10 true or false questions and 3 drawings.

In this marine life worksheet, students fill in the boxes beside each ocean creature name with one of the following feeding methods: predator, scavenger, grazer, and filter feeder. Students then list or draw marine creatures that use the...

Students explore the concept of food webs.  In this food web lesson, students demonstarte the connection between species.  Students use a ball of string show how the food web works, then have a class discussion. 

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Young scholars experiment with genes and environment for a population of "Toothpick Fish."

Students explore biology by completing a fishing worksheet. In this commercial fishery lesson, students identify the process of taking mass fish from the ocean and delivering them to eateries while discussing the negative aspects....

Test scholars' knowledge of ecosystems with a 20-question pre-assessment. Assessment challenges learners to answer multiple choice questions, read diagrams, and complete charts.

Students study fish habits and traits. In this marine life lesson, students complete four learning centers of a fish memory game, a fish habitat study, draw and glue fish craft activity, and a fish read-a-thon. Students complete their...

Fifth graders observe a diagram of the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle to know that when they breathe out, they exhale carbon dioxide as do animals. They observe an aquarium containing both plants and fish and discuss the cycle. They then...

Fifth graders explain the three phases of the water cycle in a narraive paragraph where they describe the journey of a single raindrop. They are introduced to five science vocabulary words and personfication.

Students define adaptation and highlight example of adaptation in birds and other animals. They study feeding techniques of seabirds and investigate the effect that trash has on wildlife.

Students apply cause and effect relationships to water pollution in a stream. In this pollution lesson students recognize the importance of clean water in their daily lives. Students accompany "Fred the Fish" as he travels down stream....

High schoolers demonstrate the effects of photosynthesis and respiration. They decide which variables to analyze in a microcosm study. They produce a written paper, oral presentation, poster, or multi-media presentation

Sixth graders create designs for salmon habitats. They work in groups to design a tank habitat that mimics the requirements for salmon in various phases of its life cycle. Students may also raise salmon eggs as part of this unit.

Fourth graders identify parts of a fish. In this fish anatomy lesson, 4th graders identify parts of fish in a group setting and then complete a worksheet about the parts of a fish.
