A mammalogist, ornithologist, ichthyologist, and a conservation geneticist share their work and their hopes that their research will help protect and save endangered species and their habitats.

Students explore how scientists discover photosynthesis. In this biology lesson, students identify the basic requirements for photosynthesis to happen. They recreate past scientists' experiments and record their observations.

Students explore different habitats and the food chains within.   In this food web lesson students construct food chains for different habitats.

Third graders examine the differences between underwater plant and animal life and human life. They create underwater scenes which display their knowledge of ocean life. They exhibit artwork in the classroom.

Students examine the roles in which animals play in the pollination of plants. They recognize that flowers have male and female sexes. Students describe cross pollination and propose reasons for cross pollination through narration of a...

Pupils 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.

First graders study the importance of trees to our environment. they make their own version of the story by completing the following sentence and then completing an illustration for their writing. "A tree can be ______."

Students practice using 2 different plant classification keys to identify species. They make choices between the similarities and differences between their object and the classification scheme.

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.

Third graders study the factors necessary for plant growth and how plants adapt to their environment. They examine ow different plants require different environments to thrive.

Third graders, after brainstorming what they already know about trees and what effect the seasons have on them, create a model of a hollow log. They participate in a young naturalist's notebook writing activity while walking outside...

Learners explore the relationship between plant roots and the soil in which they grow. They examine photos of uprooted trees and desert areas and conduct experiments designed to highlight this mutual relationship between roots and soil....

Pupils explore the process of growing plants from seed. In this propagation lesson, students examine methods of propagation and determine how to rapidly propagate plant species. Pupils listen to a lecture informing them on the topic and...

Fourth graders explain how the components of soil effect plant growth. They brainstorm different kinds of materials that plants could use for structural support. They design an experiment to show that plants can grow without soil.

Students take a field trip to a native plant culture. They need to describe where the plants were before the Europeans occupied North America.

Students explore biotic and abiotic factors in landscape design. In this landscaping lesson, students create 3-dimensional models that represent landscape designs taking into consideration climate and planting requirements.

Students identify via slides prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They identify plant or animal cells from slides or pictures. Students are given the question of the day. They are asked which has a nucleus, a prokaryotic or eukaryotic...

For this online interactive plant quiz worksheet, students respond to 6 multiple choice questions that require them to identify the Latin names of plants.

For this Woodland math facts worksheet, students study and examine woodland weights of trees and shrubs, explore invertebrates and draw a bar chart to chart their findings.

Students investigate how food chains work. For this food chains lesson, students construct a food web for a pear tree habitat. The interactive whiteboard is an optional tool in this lesson.

First graders explore peanuts. In this peanut lesson, 1st graders examine the parts of peanut plants and identify them. Students plant their own peanut plants and chart their growth.

Students explore landscape design. In this practical gardening lesson plan, students design landscape plans that call for shrubs, trees, and plants that can be used for aesthetics, cooking, and wildlife.

Learners 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...
