Students create endangered animal figures and their habitats.

Wow! Review an entire semester of biology curriculum playing this Science Jeopardy game! The variety of topics is extremely broad, so you will need to review each question to find if they all apply to your course. As you find material...

Students practice using 2 different plant classification keys to identify species. They make choices between the similarities and differences between their object and the classification scheme.

In this classification worksheet, students read a description of how all living things are related and describe a diagram showing how this taxonomy works. Students answer five questions related to their reading.

Students read an article on the characteristics of wolves and dogs then complete a phylogenetic tree of the canid family. They then write an essay justifying why or why not wolves and dogs should be classified as different species.

Students use a Palm loaded with botany software to assist them in deciding if items are produced from trees. They identify local deciduous and coniferous trees.

Learners explore the classification system of organisms: taxonomy. They examine prepared slides of Protozoans and record information on a Taxonomy Recording Sheet. Two additional classifying activities are also included in this lesson.

Students work as a class-size unit as well as in small groups to become proficient in observing tree characteristics to facilitate species identification. They identify most common tree species by observing leaf, flower, fruit and bark...

Fourth graders observe, plan, research, and create a field guide for the trees that are in their schoolyard. In this trees lesson plan, 4th graders make careful observations of what they see around their school and create a guide.

Students observe salamanders, take pictures of them, and classify them into an online format. For this animal classification lesson, students use collection materials and digital camera to photograph and observe salamanders. Students...

Students study starfish through dissection. For this biology lesson plan, students explore the lives of starfish as they view a slide show, observe parts of echinoderms, and compare the classification of the starfish with other...

Young scholars describe the techniques biologists use to classify organisms. In this biology lesson, students create cladograms and phylogenetic trees. They list the levels of taxonomic hierarchy.

Students study A Tree Grows in Brooklyn using Bloom's Taxonomy. In this language arts lesson, students discuss the chapter and complete a worksheet. Students illustrate an experience they have had that is similar to a situation in the text.

An ecosystem is really just the flow of energy through many different living organisms. A study of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book leads to an environmental science activity in which learners study how various factors can affect...

Students utilize dichotomous keys to identify trees in their schools.  In this ecological identification lesson, students practice creating dichotomous keys based on simple subjects such as hair color or sex of a person....

Students, in groups, classify furniture, share their categories and rationales, then note how their different schemes vary, perfectly logical and useful, but completely arbitrary.

Students work together to identify groups of endangered animals. Using a pamphlet, they group the pictures according to specific criteria and cut the pictures out and color them. They place the animals in the correct habitat and share...

Students investigate the diversity of life that is found in Montana. They research some of the different interactions that organisms have with their environment. The lesson includes an extensive introduction for teacher information....

Young scientists use the Internet to evaluate how organisms are classified. They research the phylogeny of organisms and how they are linked in a certain way. Pupils hone research technology skills with their final presentations.

Self reflection is an important skill to reinforce in our children, and it's especially helpful to help them realize who they are in the context of their environment. A collection of lessons about self image and community encourage...

Students examine a method biologists use to try to determine relationships. They examine how amino acid sequences have been determined for a number of proteins, and how scientists can make inferences about DNA based on the amino acid...

Students participate in an interactive game to review how living things are classified.

First graders create classroom graph of their family members after reading book, Family.
