Students explore the function and structures of cells, including plant and animal cells. They explore cell parts including cell wall, ribosomes, chromosomes, nucleoid, plasmids, flagella, pilli, and plasma membrane, cel

Students use scientific methods to investigate the effects of overpopulation of seed plants on growth in a limited living space. Students relate seed plant population findings to that of other organisms.

Students study biodiversity while examining insects. They research insects that already exist and how they adapt to their environment.

Students compare the process of protein synthesis in an analogy. They simulate the process of protein synthesis kinesthetically using index cards and write a paragraph to explain the process.

Students observe, measure, and sort tree leaves. They examine leaves individually, in groups, and in relationship to the entire tree. Pupils take a walk outside for a "Leaf Walk." Students are each given a lunch size paper bag, so that...

Students use laboratory equipment safely. They identify structures in a seed. They distinguish between monocots and dicots. They search for information using the computer.

For this nonvascular plant worksheet, students compare the characteristics of bryophyta, hepatophyta, and anthocerophyta. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank and 3 multiple choice questions.

In this plants worksheet, students review the alternation of generations in plants and the function of seeds and flowers for plants. This worksheet has 11 short answer questions and 4 fill in the blank questions.

Students explain how the components of a cell operate as a system. Students examine a bicycle and find out if parts were arranged differently, could the system still be carried out. They look at cells as well and see what function they...

Students play 20 Questions with animal characteristics and then view an animation of how a tadpole changes into a frog. They consider the importance of camouflage to frogs and write out the story of a frog from tadpole to adult.

Students act as directors of a new science museum where they have decided to set up a display of animals without backbones that are found in the area. To organize their display, they need to sort and classify a collection of animals and...

Using computers, Students work in small groups and progress through the roles of Explorer, Researcher, Designer, and Evaluator as they study the life cycle of plants, insects, butterflies and frogs.

Students use video learning to explore how flowers make seeds and dissect their own flower, and make a flower with its reproductive parts out of construction paper.

Seventh graders discover how water circulates through the earth and its atmosphere while determine how much of the Earth's water is suitable for drinking. They discover the meaning of evaporation, transpiration, and precipitation and...

Students observe how the bean seed has changed after being soaked in water overnight and record their observations. They open the bean and observe the inside. Finally, students draw and label the parts of a bean seed and write the...

In this science worksheet, students learn facts about plankton by reading two pages of factual information. Students read about the different kinds of plankton and how it is classified. Detailed drawings are included. There are no...

In this cell worksheet, learners will match 13 vocabulary words relating to cells to the correct definition. The cell vocabulary words cover all the parts of the cell plus eukaryotes, and prokaryotes.

Young scientists write and draw about their knowledge of reptiles. They also view a nature video focusing on lizards and snakes, complete a chart comparing and contrasting them. Next, they focus on the defense mechanisms...

Seventh graders study the parts of a light microscope, and its proper use. They identify each part and explain why it is important to know how to use this tool. They practice observing newsprint on a wet mount slide.

Learners explore how animals survive in the winder. After attending a gall-collecting field trip, students place them in a freezer. Once frozen, the learners open the gall flay larva and observe it as the larva revives. Students...

Pupils create their own plants and write about them using digital cameras, AppleWorks, and the educational program Kid Pix. Emphasis is placed on the creative process and reflective writing.

Pupils, working in cooperative groups, extract very impure samples of DNA from a number of tissue samples. They determine how the samples can be preserved and how they are similar.

In this cell worksheet, students read a short passage about simple cells or ground cells found in stems and leaves of plants. Students then answer four questions about the text.

Students measure the lengths of provided leafs to the nearest millimeter. Students identify trends in the data as well as sourced of inaccuracy and formulate additional questions that could be investigated to enhance their understanding.
