In this endangered species worksheet, students complete math word problems where they refer to the chart about endangered species. Students complete 7 problems.

Students explore Upham Woods at night and investigate about the special adaptations of nocturnal animals. They identify three nocturnal animals and how they are adapted to the night. Students explain what night vision is and how it works.

In this PowerPoint, students participate in a variation of tic tac toe in which questions about the animal and plant kingdom are presented and students move to various locations on the game board.

Students examine mammals understanding what a mammal is and reviewing the eleven mammal groups. In this science lesson, students play a game known as Mystery Mammal Game. Yet, first students research about the mammal and then give...

Summary: Categorize animal pictures by their coverings. Show photographs of animals. Ask students to give descriptive words as to how they think the animal's covering would feel if they could actually touch it.

Students create and draw fictional dinosaurs. They write a description of their dinosaur.

Students categorize animals by their coverings. They list descriptive words, explore a science center with actual animal coverings, match pictures of animals with coverings, and categorize pictures of animals by their coverings on a...

Students explore biology by participating in a science vocabulary activity. In this animal species lesson, students define a list of animal vocabulary terms as well as practice using them in sentences with the appropriate adjectives and...

Students survive within an ecosystem, an animal must be physically and behaviorally adapted to the conditions of its environment.

Students explore the classification system in this seven lessons unit. The diversity of life forms and their characteristics are examined using a microscope. Kingdoms, classes, and families are investigated.

Students investigate the system of classification for living things through the sixteen lessons of this unit. The five kingdoms of monerans, protists, fungi, plants, and animals form the basis of several experiments as the similarities...

Students model how the bones in a bat wing are organized. They develop questions about bat body parts based on photographs. They hypothesize how bats locate their food.

Students list characteristics and features of animals found in their community. They then group the animals according to how they are similar and different and create names for each group. They then create a chart of their...

Fifth graders examine the traits and characteristics of vertebrates. Identifying the key factors that make the classes of vertebrates unique, they create a children's book. They decide which material is necessary to share about the...

Second graders study the life cycle of a butterfly by observing metamorphosis taking place in a butterfly pavilion. Students illustrate their understandings of the body parts of a caterpillar and butterfly, as well as the life cycle,...

In this science activity, students match each type of scientist listed in the left-had column to its correct description found in the right-hand column. There are 34 different scientists to match on the sheet.

For this classifying life worksheet, students review the 5 kingdoms of organisms by completing 10 matching and 7 fill in the blank questions.

For this biology worksheet, students read about biological taxonomy. They then use the information they learned to answer the 13 questions on the worksheet. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

Learners explain how zoo-plankton have an impact on the global process.  In this ocean zoo-plankton lesson students calculate carbon flux and plankton densities. 

Young scholars define terms, and identify three ways in which plankton are adapted for life in the open ocean.  In this ocean drift instructional activity students design a planktonic organism. 

Students practice using a dichotomous key. In this classification instructional activity, students read an article about scientific exploration and identification of new species. They use a dichotomous key to identify objects and create...

Students explore practical problems that are related to scuba diving.  In this oxygen activity students complete a lab activity. 

Young scholars explore how different species thrive.  In this speciation lesson students research and complete a lab activity.

Students read about categories of mammals and their features. Students then construct a marine animal, using given print outs in the lesson plan. Students then create adaptations for their mammal, using a web site reference for guidance.
