Students complete an experiment to determine if there are bad microbes in food processing.For this bad microbe experiment, students use apples to see how they react to oxygen. Students test apples with chemicals to observe the changes.

Students participate in a bread making experiment to understand the good microbes in bread. In this bread making lesson, students prepare bread in a bag with varied recipes and note results.

Students discover the role microorganisms play in our lives. In this decomposition lesson, students examine decaying foods and plants in order to analyze the different bacteria that grows. Students discuss the good and bad of...

Students study elephants and the features they have that help to keep them cool.  In this elephants lesson students research a feature of the elephant. 

In this fill in the blank worksheet, students respond to 20 short answer questions by identifying foods that contain large amounts of sugar, carbohydrate, and fruit acids and explaining their effects on the body.

In this lesson the student demonstrate analysis of the changes taking place in the bottle as well as bdemonstrate application of the interactions happening in the bottle by applying these changes to the environment.y measuring and...

Sixth graders design and conduct an experiment with milk to investigate how temperature affects bacteria growth. They, in groups, construct a hypothesis, perform the experiment and then record and present the results.

Students demonstrate the changes that take place when they complete their experiment.  In this battery lesson students complete a lab activity. 

In this fuel sources worksheet, students calculate the E85 alternative fuel costs per gallon compared to the cost of gasoline. Students complete a table to show the comparison prices. They create a triple line graph to show the...

Students study fungus which attacks apple trees. In this apple tree lesson, students grow a mold to demonstrate how an apple fungus could destroy an apple tree. They observe the mold which will not actually destroy a tree. They draw...

Observe two different water samples and write down observations. Write a paragraph which predicts the relative amounts of nutrients, nitrates, and phosphates in the water samples. Compare water samples under a microscope.

Students explore organic and inorganic objects. In this environmental lesson students perform a composting experiment using flowers in different soils. Students record their observations.

Seventh graders create a model of an ecosystem and label it to show structure and function. They research the food web of an aquatic animal and also trace energy flow from the primary producer up the food chain.

Students design and conduct investigations that illustrate the effect bioremediation has on organic matter and determine environmental applications. They, in groups, present their findings to the class.

Young scholars discover the benefits of composting. They identify the steps of decomposition as well. They are read a book and discuss what items decompose.

In a multi-week experiment, student teams gather biogas data from the mini-anaerobic digesters that they build to break down different types of food waste with microbes. They compare methane gas production from decomposing hot dogs,...
