In this plant response worksheet, students will explore the different responses plants have to different stimuli, including light and gravity. Students will complete 7 multiple choice questions and 3 fill in the blank questions.

Students study the conservation of energy.  In this energy lesson students explain the differences between potential and kinetic energy.

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.

Students explore animal and plant adaptation.  In this ecosystems science lesson, students view websites to gain information about plankton and its  interdependence within ecosystems. Students identify ways in which plankton...

Though the walrus spends roughly one third of its time on land, it eats organisms that live on the bottom of the ocean. The first in a series of five, the lesson uses a variety of plant and animal cards to have scholars build an arctic...

Seventh graders explain the mechanism of digestion. In this biology lesson, 7th graders perform an iodine test to check for the presence of starch. They discuss how energy travels through the food chain.

Young scholars investigate the rate of photosynthesis using elodea leaves. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students place elodea in a test tube filled with water. They include baking soda and place the test tube under a lamp. Young...

Students investigate the components of chlorophyll. They use paper chromatography to separate the many pigments of chlorophyll from one another.

In this photosynthesis worksheet, students conduct an experiment to show the making of starch in a plant's leaves during photosynthesis. Students complete 2 short answer questions.

Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble! Find out what drives a turbine to generate electricity and whether or not it has an impact on the environment. A discussion and lecture is divided by a hands-on activity in...

In this energy worksheet, students review the processes that create energy for a cell: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. This worksheet has 11 fill in the blank and 14 short answer questions.

In this chemistry of life worksheet, students will review key terms of plant cell structure and chemistry by reading 13 clues to complete the puzzle. Word bank is included.

Sometimes the best way to learn about plants is to see the different parts of a plant yourself. Groups of learners dissect flowers to answer questions about what they observe and what they wonder about their flower.

Sometimes it's okay to eat your science experiment. A hands-on activity has pupils create models for algae to learn about its cellular structure. The best part of the experiment? The resulting juice-filled gels are edible—yum!

Fourth graders control variables to determine the effect on plant growth. They collect information by observing and measuring and construct simple graphs, tables, maps and charts to organize, examine and evaluate information.

Fourth graders explore the plant life cycle. They discuss the sequence of events in the life cycle of the plant and illustrate how the life cycle never ends. Students explore the importance of water, sunlight, and nutrients during the...

Students calculate how much coal they use based on their electric power usage. In this environmental science lesson, students trace the history of coal mining in US. They write a letter to USPS to encourage them to create coal mining...

Students compare and contrast cellular respiration in yeast and plant and animal cells. After discovering the role of yeast in making beer and bread, they describe the short and long term effects of alcohol on the nervous and digestive...

Students study chloroplasts, their structure and evolution.  In this photosynthesis lesson plan students experiment with polarized light and the production of chlorophyll.

In this molecules worksheet, students read a 1 page article on molecules and then answer 10 true or false, multiple choice, short answer and/or fill in the blank questions referring to the article.

Students conduct experiments with plants.  For this photosynthesis lesson, students examine plants under different types of lights.  They calculate the amount of dissolved ocygen concentration and compare it to the formula for...

Provide high schoolers with their own indoor gardens! Emerging scientists discuss the process of photosynthesis and germinate seeds before growing plants in multiple lighting conditions. The hands-on application allows...

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 are introduced to the process of photosynthesis. In groups, they test the effects of the lack of sunlight on plant leaves and compare the results with their hypothesis. They note the characteristics that plants and animals share...
