For this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms that are related to the rain forest. There are 24 biology terms located in the word search.

In this reactions worksheet, students describe combustion as either exothermal or endothermal. Students balance reactions and label the types of reactions. This worksheet has 1 multiple choice, 2 short answer, and 10 problem solving...

Students research trees and their parts. In this forestry lesson, students participate in various learning stations to identify trees by matching the photographs of the tree to the correct name.

Students receive informational handouts about photosynthesis, chemosynthesis and tubeworms (included with the instructional activity). Using the "Bacteriology Experiment Plan" handout, students compare the amount of bacteria found in two...

In this life cycle workbook, 5th graders examine plant and animal cells, classification of organisms, human biology, photosynthesis, and natural environments. 21 different activities make up the Life Cycle Workbook.

Students read about, discuss, and research chemotrophic organisms. In this chemosynthesis lesson, students discuss the differences between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. They learn that chemosynthesis includes a variety of chemical...

Young scholars identify the different biogeochemical cycles on Earth. In this biology lesson, students observe microbes under a microscope. They compare and contrast respiration and photosynthesis.

Whoa! What just happened? That's right, change is everywhere. But what exactly is changing? Middle school science sleuths get to the bottom of the changes matter can experience. Through simple demonstrations, engaging videos, and an...

Second graders gain an understanding of how plants produce oxygen and that the oxygen we breathe comes from trees and plants. After a lecture/demo, 2nd graders discuss the ways plants produce oxygen and the detrimental effects of cutting...

Students explore how seeds grow. They design an experiment and predict its outcome.

Sixth graders examine the processes and transformations that occur in carbon pools. They play a game to identify paths taken by carbon through the environment.

Seventh graders develop an experiment to measure the temperature on several parts of a tree to determine if there is a difference in surface temperature. They practice the process of scientific method to find out if trees create heat in...

Students identify and analyze some of the similarities between Earth and Mars. Students identify why scientists believe that living things such as plants can live on Mars. Students evaluate each of the Growing Space modules identify in...

Young scholars observe changes in a selected tree leaf near their homes during the fall. Twice each week students record changes in the leaf using words, pictures, and numbers.

In this plants worksheet, students write the 3 steps that take place when a plant produces its own food. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this living things worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in 1 main idea and 2 supporting details about how living things get energy.

Students investigate the seasons of the apple tree. In tree seasons lesson plan, students use a sun model and a globe to study the tilt of the Earth to create the seasons. Students discuss the tilt and the seasons. Students discuss...

Students explore plant life. In this biology lesson plan, students take part in 2 activities that require them to study photosynthesis and water transport in plants.

Students explore the interaction between the forest and wildlife. In this forestry lesson, students collect data about forest ecosystems, species of trees, photosynthesis, and interaction of organisms. They prepare a lab activity to...

Students explain the relationship of plants and animals in the environment. They name the basic requirements for plant growth and define the terms photosynthesis, stomata, chlorophyll and xylem.

Tenth graders study how cells and organisms acquire and release energy through photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They explain that living organisms use matter and energy to synthesize a variety of organic molecules and they will...

Young scholars explore Adenosine Triphosphate and how energy is released. They examine the basic process of cellular respiration and draw its chemical formula. After describing cellular respiration and photosynthesis, students compare...

In this carbon activity, students follow directions and use marshmallows and toothpicks to made carbon dioxide and glucose molecules. Students do this to see how carbon changes as a result of photosynthesis.

Seventh graders cut and paste animal pictures to create a food web and trace the path of energy. They write a paragraph explaining the importance of photosynthesis in all food webs.
