Seventh graders take a survey to determine their attitudes toward sexuality. In groups, they identify female and male reproductive organs and develop a list of secondary sex traits during puberty. They also discuss the stages of the...

Sixth graders observe different microorganisms under the microscope. In this biology lesson, 6th graders draw and describe the samples they see. They study the root nodules of plants and explain how the plants benefit from those bacteria.

Discover the change of the seasons by modeling the Earth-Sun system. Learners model the orbit of the Earth around the sun and explore how and why the patterns of winter and summer occur.

In this water web worksheet, students explore, analyze and discuss how weather stations interact with maintaining weather conditions and answer two essay questions and ten multiple choice questions.

In this science activity, students read the article related to currents and complete the exercises that are multiple choice and short answer.

For this water worksheet, students answer 10 multiple-choice questions about the water cycle. Students also describe how they think their community is involved in sustaining water resources and write a pretend radio announcement about...

Learners investigate biodiversity by creating reports with their classmates.  In this ecosystem lesson plan, students utilize the Internet to research the different types of life in our environment and different locations around the...

Students review their prior knowledge on plants. In groups, they compare and contrast the difference between reproducing asexually and sexually. Using the internet, they research how some plants can be forced to produce asexually.

Students explore gardening and nutrition in the Rosa Parks Community Garden. They work in stations to discuss food choices, the life cycles of plants, and mini-composting. After starting in one station, they rotate to try each activity.

Students simulate the Earth's revolution around the sun using CEENBoT. In this earth science lesson students calculate the Earth's distance in AU and it's speed of revolution. They explain how the Earth's movement cause seasonal variation.

In this water activity, students answer 10 questions about Florida's water. Students also describe the role of ground water and sinkholes.

Students investigate the similarities and differences in soils from different states with an analysis of its physical and chemical properties.

Ninth graders investigate how we depend on plants as the original source of most food. They investigate the parts of plants, and which parts are edible. Students are explained that the garden is also a classroom and the same rules apply.

Students determine the effect of the earth's tilt on the amount of incoming solar radiation throughout the year. They simulate the earth's orbit around the sun using a light bulb and a globe to simulate the seasons. Assessment questions...
