Students investigate the different bioluminescent organisms. They use microscopes in order to make observations and draw what is seen. Students demonstrate they have studies the differences between the process of photosynthesis and...

Photosynthesis was discovered in the 1770s, but chemosynthesis wasn't discovered until 1977. While many have performed an experiment to show how photosynthesis works, the activity allows pupils to observe chemosynthesis. Scholars set up...

During an inquiry-based lesson plan, scholars decide which variable to test and then design an experiment to determine the needs of producers. After two weeks, they complete a full analysis and research paper.

Students diagram a plant. In this Science lesson plan, students explore the concept of photosynthesis focusing on the oxygen production. Students calculate the amount of plants needed to filter the air in their classroom.

Protists carry out around 40 percent of all photosynthesis on Earth. Pupils view a presentation focused entirely on protists. It focuses on reproduction, structure, function, the benefits, and the dangers introduced by these tiny...

Young scholars are introduced to the topic of Botany and the process of photosynthesis. Using various habitats, they research the amount of destruction it is facing and how to solve the problem. They make a leaf booklet with leaves they...

Students examine how photosynthetic rates can change by using different qualities of light. They practice using spectrophotometer and the scientific method to detect the absorbance values in light treatments.

Students explore the needs of plants. In this science lesson plan, students plant seeds and place one in a sunny spot and the other in a dark area. Students observe what happens.

Students explore what the stoma does for a plant.  In this botany lesson students complete a stomatal peel experiment and measure its densities.

Students learn about the parts of a plant, and how plants live and grow.

Fourth graders determine, through laboratory activity, the presence or absence of glucose in a variety of plant leaves and stems. They work in groups and perform a three part laboratory which shows them how plants convert sunlighht to food.

Students recognize interdependence in a food web by using yarn and notecards to create a food web and discussing what would happen if one of the organisms from a certain trophic level is removed.

Students create a bulletin board display illustrating food chains they make from a list of ocean organisms. Students also play a game showing what happens when one of the organisms is removed from the food chain and how they are all...

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between producers, consumers, and decomposers as they look at the energy pyramid. While working in small groups, they create an ecosystem that includes all or some of the given categories, and they...

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders explain how producers make their own food. Then they describe the food chain and what the end products are of respiration. Students also describe how muscles continue to get energy during high...

Eighth graders observe and identify the different levels of the forest.  In this forest zones lesson plan students observe, identify and name a variety of forest components and describe how humans impact the forest ecosystem. 

Learners use easily obtained materials to study ecological succession in a microbiological community. This investigation is appropriate for a variety of age groups. Elementary Students be fascinated by the changes occurring over time...

First graders go on a leaf-hunting expedition around the schoolyard. They determine from which trees they fell using identification cards. Students read several books about leaves and apply their artistic skills by using the collected...

Students examine the carbon cycle while identifying its sources, sinks, and release agents. Using magazines and newspapers, groups of students design collages illustrating the carbon cycle. Finally, they write responses to several...

In this energy worksheet, students describe how plants store energy and how animals use the energy stored in plants by answering 5 short answer questions.

In this plant structure worksheet, 5th graders will use a diagram of a leaf to complete 3 short answer questions on the purpose of a plant's cuticle, open and closed stomata, and leaves.

In this cells worksheet, learners review cell organelles and their functions plus the different processes that take place within cells. This worksheet has 9 matching and 5 true or false questions.

In this student exploration-pond ecosystem activity, students use the Pond Ecosystem Gizmo to measure oxygen concentrations and temperature and record the data on charts.

First graders grow radishes. In this Science lesson, 1st graders observe the growth of radishes in both the light and dark. Students discuss what plants need to live.
