Students examine distribution of water and minerals. In this surface and groundwater instructional activity, students conduct an experiment with fresh and salt water making hypothesis and drawing conclusions about minerals. 

Second graders explore weathering and how the water cycle plays a part in weathering. In this weathering lesson plan, 2nd graders put gravel and sugar cubes in a jar and shake, simulating weathering. Students use the scientific...

This plant biology PowerPoint introduces plant parts and their functions. This PowerPoint allows students to identify each plant part on a diagram, along with its' function. The slides contain a clear explanation of how each plant part...

In this weathering learning exercise, students walk around campus and observe ten examples of both mechanical and chemical weathering. They answer questions related to their observations.

Students read article, "Toxic Transmission" and discuss technology pollution, specifically cell phone pollution and its ripple effects in other parts of the world.

Students identify activities that produce hazardous waste. They examine how contaminants are spread in air and water. They work together to create a model to show how the contaminants move through water.

Students evaluate their differences, then look at differences in plants. In this class team building and life science lesson, the class play a game that focuses on similarities and differences in the group, then students plant three...

Students identify four parts of trees. In this plant biology lesson plan, students read the book Trees and conduct Internet research to identify the parts of the tree. Students take notes from each website and complete an included...

Students identify misplaced and dangling modifiers and correct these errors in their writing. They create illustrations to match the misplace and dangling modifiers.

Students study bogs. They tour, collect physical, chemical, and biological data and analyze a pristine bog community. Using the data, they draw a map and a cross section of the bog.

Students view a demonstration of how groundwater flows and define several related vocabulary terms. They complete a worksheet, participate in discussion and make a poster.

Learners explore the causes of water pollution and its effects on the environment through the use of models and scientific investigation. In the accompanying activities, they investigate filtration and aeration processes as they are used...

Students participate in a simulation of the equal and unequal distribution of the earth's renewable resources. They discuss renewable resources and how food resources can increase and decrease, participate in the simulation, and analyze...

Students explore matter by conducting an in class demonstration. In this liquid mixture lesson, students identify the difference between a solution in which a solid dissolves into liquid, and a suspension where the solid doesn't dissolve...

Students explore environmental cleanliness by completing a worksheet in class. In this waste management lesson, students identify the technological advances in society and how they increase waste production our planet is unable to deal...

Students name wetland plant and animal life.  In this ecosystem lesson students go birdwatching and interpret native plants through art. 

Learners study how to select the right tree for the right site, how to properly plant a tree, and how to mulch and water a tree.

Students discuss the positives and negatives of composting. They plant their own plant using composting material and record results. They create a poster for the classroom.

Students role-play how organisms adapt to their environment. They play 20 questions with plant and animal habitats. They create a web of life to demonstrate how each plant and animal relies on the other for survival.

First graders work on patterns in nature and to recognize how different living things adapt to different environments such as the rain forest.

Students study the impact that invasive species have on biodiversity and more natural areas.

Students engage in a lesson in which volcanoes be explored and examined. After watching a video, students create volcanoes out of clay.

Tenth graders research an African animal of their choice and relate the concepts of population, climate and biodiversity to their animal. They examine how population interacts in an ecosystem.

Second graders make a KWL chart and brainstorm what they need for the project of growing potatoes. They choose one potato and plant it in water or peat moss cups and choose a location in which meets the needs of the plants and make their...
