Young scholars identify the different types of asexual reproduction. In this biology instructional activity, students name organisms that reproduce asexually. They answer an interactive quiz and check their answers afterward.

Tenth graders become aware of the need for eye safety in the classroom through three mini labs.

Students learn the basic anatomy of a tree through exploration of tree centers.

Students explore where insects live and how they have adapted to their environment.

Students examine insects they collect in a sweep nets. They identify as many of the insects as they can.

Third graders observe insects in a number of habitats. They recognize which insect characteristics are adaptations to their habitats.

Students work together to collect soil samples from different locations. In the samples, they identify the macroorganisms and classify them. They identify the conditions that affect how macroorganisms grow. They also analyze and identify...

Students identify the penny as a copper coin worth 1 cent. They discover information found on the penny: President Lincoln's face, Lincoln Memorial, date, and location of minting.

Pupils investigate the concept of a macroinvertebrate. They observe the presence of increases or decreases in population in order to test for factors that contribute to the extinction of a species. Students predict the likelihood of...

Students investigate and analyze the patterns of sedimentation in the Hudson Canyon students observe how heavier particles sink faster than finer particles. They study that submarine landslides (trench slope failure) are

Third graders, in groups, research animals, plants, and conditions found in ecosystems.

Third graders identify and define an Ecosystem and the basic needs of all animals. They collect pond water in a pickle jar. They observe the organisms that are in the jar to keep an ongoing record of the creatures and their population.

Second graders examine the formation of fossils and list the different types. They make cast model of a dinosaur fossil. They write about conditions that are necessary for fossils to form and create a model of a buried fossil.

Learners explore their environment. Given a question and a scenario, they conduct a field study of a designated area. In that area, they count and tally the number of insects that are present.
