Students study the life of Jane Goodall and how she made an impact studying chimpanzees.  In this endangered species lesson students write in their journals.

Students examine the different species that are headed towards extinction.  In this animal population lesson plan students compare the causes of extinction, research an endangered species and present an oral report. 

Young scholars explore the adaptations that birds have.  In this adaptations lesson students view a video and create a concept map of birds and their adaptive traits.

Students experiment with traits. In this Science lesson plan, students test the strength of beetles using M&M candies in lieu of the insects. Students use the Hardy-Weinberg Equation to calculate possible offspring traits of further...

In this animal classification instructional activity, students will review the characteristics used in classifying animals including the development of animals. Students will compare the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. This...

In this evolution worksheet, students will complete a table by writing in the era and biological event based on 4 different time periods of Earth's history. Students will answer 8 fill in the blank questions based on the different origin...

In this plant worksheet, students will review plant classification by comparing plant characteristics. Students will determine what is needed for photosynthesis to occur. Students will also explore plant transpiration and the...

In this plant classification worksheet, students compare plants with flowers and plants with cones by filling in the blank of 7 statements.

In this classification worksheet, students write in examples of the 6 kingdoms: archaebacteria, eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this igneous rock worksheet, student fill in 25 blanks to complete sentences about types of igneous rock, classification of igneous rock, components of igneous rock and how the types of igneous rock are formed.

If used as a center activity, this short presentation could be a motivating way for learners to review material relating to plants, the circulatory system, and more. However, there are only nine questions. It would be more useful if...

Using this quick activity, you can have your class review what they have learned about mammals. Learners sit in a circle, and take turns naming a mammal. This activity could be enriched by having learners go to their desks, identify a...

Young scholars learn about the characteristics of each animal classification. In this animal classification lesson students will first learn the characteristics of each classification. Then, they will find animals from given materials...

In this animal classification worksheet, students describe the animal kingdom including invertebrates, vertebrates, birds, and mammals. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Fifth graders define words. They create a dichotomous key. After carefully examining pill bugs, 5th graders record observations. They compare and contrast habitats of pillbugs.

Young geologists learn how to use an identification key in order to classify rocks. The key is designed to help them classify rocks into three types: ignesous, metamorphic, and sediimentary. After an initial teacher-led demonstration,...

Firts graders distinguish between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. They group the rocks into the appropriate group. This is one of the best-organized plans I've seen! Learners watch a PowerPoint presentation which is embedded...

Your junior highers will learn about which objects are natural and classify objects as abiotic or biotic. Your class will trace human products to their natural resources using matter cycles and then create their own definition of nature.

Looking at evolution in detail, this thorough worksheet has complex questions requiring details and explanations of natural selection and diversity. Various examples of biological characteristics are available, and students choose the...

Students recognize the characteristics of insects.  In this edible bugs lesson, students observe the body parts of an insect.  Students create an edible insect using a grape, carrot sticks and sorrel stems and leaves. ...

In a well-prepared Jeopardy-style game, your chemisty class can review the periodic table. Questions cover the element groups, some history, atomic number, atomic and ionic radii, electronegativity, and the shielding effect. What a fun...

How can you tell what an owl has eaten? Study the food chain and flow of energy in an ecosystem by dissecting an owl pellet and noting the bones found inside. Additionally, the activity includes a game about consumers and producers with...

What an exciting lab experiment to conduct with your high school chemistry class! Crystals are formed naturally in the environment. However, allow your blossoming chemists to create their own unique crystals using alum and...
