Young scholars explore nature by conducting botany experiments. In this plant life lesson plan, students define the necessary resources for a plant to thrive on our planet while defining scientific vocabulary terms. Young scholars...

Students are introduced to the relationship between light and vision. In groups, they participate in experiments to discover how different wavelengths are divided in the visible spectrum. They record their answers and discuss their...

Students smash plant parts and wait for visibility of chlorophyl to show why plants turn green. In this green plants lesson plan, students use acetone and filter paper for this experiment.

Biology learners investigate the effect of sucrose concentration on yeast alcoholic fermentation. During the lesson plan,they compare and contrast the processes of cellular respiration and alcoholic fermentation. They design an...

Students explore the process of fermentation through the process of making Sauerkraut. Students use their observational skills and their five senses to create an articulate description of their lab created sauerkraut. They discuss the...

In this science worksheet, students use the key code on the right to unscramble each of the scientists. They also match each of the scientists found to their correct description.

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

In this DNA worksheet, students access a website to learn about how single-celled organisms function successfully. Then students pretend they are a bacterium and determine how to transport lactose across their cell membrane for food....

Fifth graders become familiar with how the diaphragm expands to draw air into our lungs and contracts to exhale carbon dioxide. They also label the major parts of the respiratory system through the use of interactive Internet research...

Students examine the characteristics of snakes and turtles and compare/contrast reptiles with mammals. They watch a video, answer discussion questions, complete information charts, conduct Internet research, and create a habitat diorama.

Students play CD-ROM game My Amazing Human Body, and participate in relay game in Phys. Ed. where they put together skeleton on which body parts are labeled.

Students investigate the role of sponges in our oceans.  In this biology lesson, students create a diagram visualizing how sponges bring food into their bodies through a filtering process.  Students discuss the connections...

Students make observations and describe the filter-feeding in sponges as it relates to the ecological role of sponges on coral reefs. In this filter-feeding in reef sponges lesson, students are introduced to the feeding methods of...

Sixth graders examine how plants collect water and breathe. In groups, they participate in a variety of activities in which they discover how plants operate in terrariums. To end the lesson, they discuss why plants are important to the...

High schoolers recognize the benefits of ethanol and study photosynthesis.  For this ethanol lesson students complete an experiment that shows the procedure that starch can be hydrolyzed by salivary amylase. 

Students model and differentiate between the processes of mitosis and meiosis. In partners, they use yarn and construction paper to create models for each of the phases of mitosis and meiosis then compare the chromosome numbers in each...

In this water and diffusion worksheet, students will explore the characteristics of water and the water molecule. Students will also answer questions about diffusion and the movement of materials due to concentration differences. This...

This PowerPoint features a game based on the animal life. The interactive slides include 20 questions about animal needs, animal groups, and animal traits. The questions include multiple choice answers and 4 different levels of...

In this plant learning exercise, high schoolers will review the origins and adaptations of plants including the alternation of generations. This learning exercise has 8 short answer, 6 fill in the blank, and 4 multiple choice questions.

In this excretory system worksheet, students read a brief excerpt about water balance and the excretory system. Then they identify what compound birds, insects and reptiles living in dry habitats excrete. Students also describe how...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the temperature tolerance of yeasts. For this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.

Pupils will observe the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Then they observe the links due to climate changes and relate how climate change affects their lives.

In this bioluminescence worksheet, students read about various organisms that glow on land and in the sea. They answer three critical thinking questions after reading about these chemical reactions.
