Students create a butterfly garden. In this butterfly garden lesson, students plot a garden with plant species that will attract butterflies. Students learn about the specific plants and items that will help butterflies use the garden.

Students investigate the life cycle of brassica plants. In this science lesson plan, students observe each stage in the life cycle of their plant. Students record their observations and graph the data. Students

Encourage peer collaboration and assist with the creation of visual aids to identify carbon, water, and nitrogen cycles as your class learns more about nature. They discuss relative information, create a visual aid...

Individuals select a plant, illustrate it in their journal, record observations, and create a life story for their plant that accounts for its features and any unique properties. Using these descriptions, a partner attempts to locate...

Scientists monitor seasonal changes in plants to better understand their responses to climate change, in turn allowing them to make predictions regarding the future. The last activity in the series of six has scholars analyze BudBurst...

All life requires energy ... and the connection between energy and plant life typically requires photosynthesis. Scholars explore photosynthesis in depth from ATP/ADP through the Calvin cycle. A helpful presentation highlights concepts...

Call this just a template for a presentation on plant life, not life cycles as the title implies. Content does compare the lengths of different life cycles and describes required conditions for germination, but it also explores cellular...

For this butterfly worksheet, students learn about the 4 stages that a butterfly goes through during metamorphosis. They then use what they learned to answer the 9 questions on the page. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

Male deer growing antlers to begin the breeding season is an example of a phenological event. First in a four-part series is an activity requiring individuals to collect phenological data on their campus. Classes discuss phenology, the...

Students explore the life cycle of living things through the eight lessons of this unit. The butterfly, frog, chicken, and plant are inspected and form the basis of the work done in this unit.

Students discover beach life. In this beach life lesson, students visit a beach to find plant and animal species that live there. They discuss the life cycle and needs of some of these animals through a variety of activities.

In this life cycle worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram by comparing and contrasting the life cycle of a flowering plant and a rabbit.

As part of a study of food chains and food webs, class members complete a series of worksheets that trace a marine chain from producers to consumers or decomposers. After studying a food chain example, young marine biologists make up...

Five pages take biologists on a generalized survey of the origin of life. Queries are made regarding theories of how life developed, ancient Earth conditions, and the ever-changing field of taxonomy. The experiments of different...

Plants take cues from the environment—change in daylight hours and temperature—to complete their seasonal life cycles. Lesson four in the series of six has classes collect phenology data on plants. After taking initial observations,...

In this Life Science worksheet, 8th graders match the vocabulary with the list while being tested on terms related to plant reproduction.

After planting a bean seed in a jar, young scientists observe the growth patterns over several days. As the bean becomes a sprout, and the sprout becomes a plant, partners measure and plot the data. They notice patterns, practice...

Students explore how plants move in response to the environment. In this plant lesson, students engage in three different experiments to investigate how plants grow and move. Resources available in English and French.

Students explore botany by participating in a calendar class activity. In this plant observation instructional activity, students examine a diagram of a Brassica plant and identify its anatomy before planting their own seeds and viewing...

Students are introduced to the concept of life cycles and identify the growth order and different stages attained by various animals. They view slideshows and video of butterflies and frogs as they change through the various stages of...

In this plant parts instructional activity, students assess their understanding of plants and plant parts. Students answer question about vocabulary, vegetables with seeds, and measuring plant parts.

Students create terrariums in containers in order to study the Water Cycle. They examine how the terrarium maintains life in the closed environment.

Students build a model to simulate parts of the water cycle. They recognize and explain the essential elements of the water cycle.

Blow the minds of young scientists with this collection of inquiry-based investigations. Based on a series of eight videos, these "hands-on, minds-on" science lessons engage young learners in exploring a wide range of topics...
