Learners explore the depths of the Gulf of Mexico. In this deep-sea habitat lesson, students construct edible models of deep-sea habitats as they bake cakes that include representations of the habitats and the organisms that live there....

Pupils are introduced to the life around them. As a class, they discuss their prior knowledge about the habitats in their local area. Using the internet, they identify the basic components needed for biodiversity and the major threats...

Students consider the importance of biodiversity in the ocean layers. In this oceanography lesson, students use the Shannon-Weaver diversity index to analyze data.  Students analyze the information collected and write a report...

Students explore habitats. For this science lesson, students discuss habitats and the insects that are found within each habitat. Students create a habitat collage.

Students draw pictures of land animals in their habitats. In this animals in their habitats lesson plan, students read a book about animals and draw in their journals.

High schoolers describe short-term variations in oceanographic parameters in the Gulf Stream.  For this ocean habitats lesson students use satellite imagery to obtain information in the Gulf Stream. 

Students conduct simple sampling of plant and insect biodiversity at ground level in two contrasting environments of their own choosing. They recognize and record different species then compare and contrast species numbers in the two...

Pupils explore the terrain, structures, plants and signs of habitats around their schoolyard. They draw a sketch map showing the different areas around the schoolyard. Students identify the location of weeds and native plants on their maps.

Students build an aquatic ecosystem using large glass pickle jars.  In this ecology activity, students build and ecosystem then observe and collect data on the habitats.   In this long term project students observe a...

Students examine worm habitats. In this animal habitats lesson plan, students participate in a lab activity that requires them to explore the adaptations that earthworms make to their environment.

Students explore the consequences of shrinking habitats and the human impact on wildlife populations. They participate in a game to study the consequences and describe the preservation of animal habitats.

Students use space technology to monitor migratory species, map their movements, and gather data about their habitats and possible responses to climatic shifts.

Students study the life, adaptations, and habitats of giraffes. They investigate the issue of giraffe survival in the wild or in a wildlife sanctuary. They conduct a class debate and present position papers.

Second graders sorted shells first by methods they thought appropriate and then were instructed on the scientific method of classification by univalve and bivalve. Students then sorted paper shells as a method of assessing knowledge. It...

Students research and illustrate the natural habitats and evolution of giraffes and other animals imported into ancient Rome. They draw a map of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia and draw the animals from each region in their proper...

Pupils explore and learn about the habitats, diets, and specific attributes of various species of ducks. Students know the names of at least seven species of ducks and at least five criteria for identifying species of ducks.
