In this fungi worksheet, students will review the growth and reproduction of zygomycetes and the characteristics of ascomycotes, basidiomycotes, and deuteromycotes. This worksheet has 15 fill in the blank, 4 short answer, and 8 matching...

Students discover how worms contribute to the balance of the environment. In this composting lesson, students study the composting and decomposition processes. Students then create habitats for worms that allow them to do their jobs.

Students are presented with the question, "Do plants that grow underwater use oxygen?" They create an experiment to test the presence of dissolved oxygen in the water using provided materials. Student experiments include a control jar as...

Test scholars' knowledge of ecosystems with a 20-question pre-assessment. Assessment challenges learners to answer multiple choice questions, read diagrams, and complete charts.

Twenty questions make up an assessment designed to test super scientists' knowledge of ecosystems. Scholars answer multiple-choice and short-answer questions about organisms, food chains, energy flow, and more.

Students create their own environment. In this environmental protection lesson, students pretend they are the owners of a tropical island. They create jobs for the citizens and develop the island as a model environment.

Students experiment with plants. In this plant lesson, students research the needs of plants. Students determine if all plants have the same requirements for growth.  In small groups, students experiment with different plants.

Students identify life processes and create their own creature. For this creative science lesson, students identify an organism's life processes and categorize them into groups. They then create their own creature and write about how it...

Students examine how to use ecological analysis to animal production systems.  In this sustainable agriculture lesson students examine where the nutrients flow in a system and complete several activities. 

Students are shown how temperature affects dissolved oxygen and they create a graph showing this relationship. They think about the adaptations of animals to live in different water temperatures. Students test four different water...

Students are shown how dissolved oxygen enters the water. They are taught the difference between a water sample that has been exposed to the air and one that has not. Students brainstorm what organisms need to survive. They use dissolved...

High schoolers discuss what happens to their wastewater. They read about the wastewater treatment process. Students are asked what types of things get flushed down toilets or goes down drains in sinks and showers. They are taught what...

Pupils identify patterns and relationships from data that is collected and solve variables.  In this investigative lesson students study ocean productivity, the nitrogen cycle and phytoplankton then answer questions.

This PowerPoint provides a Jeopardy game board and science questions from a variety of topics including biomes, plants, life cycles, cells, and the water cycle.

Students study coelenterates. In this science lesson, students author a story regarding the life cycle of coelenterates following an in depth study of the creatures.

Learners explore the life cycle of plants. In this agricultural lesson, students discover the two ways that seeds germinate. Learners dissect seeds and record data. Resources are provided in French and English.

Learners put items in a plastic bag and watch the effects of composting. While completing the experiment, students answer questions and ask permission to start their own compost pile at home.

The general characteristics that affect classification of fungi and other organisms in the domain Eukarya are detailed for the students on 12 attractive slides.  Teachers can access individual slides to cover life cycles or...
