Tag along with Travis the Train as he encounters various baby animals that live on the farm. The spring time story introduces special-needs or autistic children to the types of plants and animals found on farms, each animal is identified...

Middle schoolers engage in a lesson which serves as an introduction to the ideas and implications of animal tracking. They monitor animal foraging behavior on a spatial scale. The students break into groups and track each other's...

Students watch a video and answer questions based on wildlife jobs. In this wildlife lesson plan, students learn that biologists don't just play with animals but that there is a lot of study involved.

Students apply satellite tagging data to investigate questions related to open-ocean animals, their habitats, and their migratory behaviors. They determine how physical or biological factors determine organism behavior using a data...

Students, after observing and responding to two pictures, consider the interaction of two unknown animals by examining the pattern of their footprints. They make observations, draw conclusions and propose possible explanations for the...

Fourth graders explore the concept of food chains. In this food chain instructional activity, 4th graders discuss what different animals eat and how they are all connected. Students explore a garden and the environment around them to...

Students work with partners to track tagged animals using real-time data from satellites. Students gather and analyze data, compile information and conclusions and then prepare a final presentation of their research.

Young scholars complete a project based on collecting satellite data aimed at finding connections between organisms and the environment. They create a final project working with a partner to share with the class.

Students discover ways to keep the animals in our environment safe by examining electronic I.D. tags.  In this animal safety lesson, students participate in a role-playing activity in which they are monitored by an electronic I.D....

Students reflect and investigate how a seacoast is the dynamic border between two worlds-the terrestrial and the marine. In the realm of life science, we can observe marine animals that inhabit the shoreline and tidepools. In the realm...

Fourth graders examine different items to see if they can recognize fossils. This be an introduction to the different fossils they be studying later and help them make inferences about past environments of Utah.

students participate in hands-on activities to discover the different types of fossils. Using teacher-provided materials, they make models of cast and trace fossils. After writing essays describing how traces are formed, students plan a...

Ever wonder where marine animals go? How fast they swim? How deep they dive? Electronic tagging has opened a new window into the world of the open ocean. Ocean Tracks gives you access to data collected by tags on real live migrating...

Information on what satellite tags are, how they work, and how they are used for research on whales. Also discusses several studies they have done using this equipment, and how this information can be used in conservation work. Great...
