In this animals in danger worksheet, students read about animals in danger, choose the correct environment, answer multiple choice questions, match what the animals do, and more. Students complete 6 activities total.

Students examine how animals create a unique space in which they can live. Students read a poem about animals' habitats discuss the habitats. They draw a space of their own and write a poem that describes their habitat.

Third graders plant seeds. For this seed structure lesson, 3rd graders identify parts of a seed and plant a lima bean seed.  Students discuss and reflect on the process in their journals. 

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 discuss the process of photosynthesis in plants and that oxygen is produced as a by product. They observe underwater Elodea plants "breathing" in a hands-on activity. After setting up the experiment, they observe the plant for...

Students conduct online research to investigate gardening and landscaping tips. They determine how they can help beautify their homes and neighborhoods.

In this matching science words and definitions about animals worksheet, students match fifteen science words about animals with the definitions.

Students create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  For this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Students then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell. 

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students study five pictures of trees made out of triangles and rectangles. Students follow the directions to trace and color the shapes they find in the picture.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students look for ovals and triangles in a picture of three multi-scoop ice cream cones. Students follow the directions to color each shape they find.
