Students identify items we use from the rainforest. For this earth science lesson, students recall prior facts about the rainforest and list items we use from the rainforest. Students create "Rainforest Cookies" using ingredients that...

Students make a biodome out of a recycled soda bottle. In this biodome lesson plan, students make a self contained environment for a plant to grow and watch the plants growth.

Learners study sonar and will explain the concept of it and its major components.  In this design lesson students build a low-cost sonar system. 

Students study the pink river dolphin and how it has adapted to its environment.  In this adaptations lesson students construct a map that represents certain relationships. 

Students explore the Hawaiian monk seal. In this science lesson, students read about the monk seal and participate in a game in which they answer questions about the Hawaiian monk seal.

Students study science. In this endangered species lesson, students examine sea turtles and actions that can be taken to help keep them alive. They work in small groups to research different species of turtles and share their information...

Students have trout in their classroom and complete journaling, checklists, temperature checking, and ammonia level recording. In this trout lesson plan, take weekly observation records of their trout.

Students examine population growth and how it impacts our environment.  In this population instructional activity students identify the causes and consequences of overpopulation.

Students compare and contrast the ways that penguins are different to flying birds.

Students increase their awareness of their natural environment. They engage in activities which emphasize the importance of conservation and create an interest in nature and conserving the natural environment.

Students explore the process of estivation, hibernation and torpor and the ways that frogs adapt to seasonal weather changes.

Third graders identify sources of salt water and fresh water that enter the Chesapeake Bay. They build a model watershed and describe how runoff enters the Bay.

Sixth graders discuss how certain species and plants are deemed endangered. They work together in conservation recovery teams to research an endangered species. Then they explore efforts to make sure that the existence of these species...

First graders read books, complete online explorations and discuss the ways in which animals adapt to their habitats in order to survive. They create accordion books, play matching games and dramatize animal adaptations.

Students map the changes that occur in the land as a result of urban sprawl. They explore the problems that paving and building have on the watershed and the habitats on the Northshore.

Middle schoolers discover correlations in food preferences of invertebrates, and assess stream health through use of kicknets, invertebrate keys, CBL systems and probes.

Students observe butterfly images and then draw and paint their own design. They use this activity to explain symmetry.

Students complete a unit of lessons on ecosystems. They participate in online activities, create a diorama, write journal entries, and develop a Hyperstudio multimedia project on a selected ecosystem.

Students research the damage to the environment by certain plant species. They create an experimental design which they test how these species take over certain habitats. They share their information with the class.

Students identify the basic characteristics of the prairie ecosystem, and several commonly known prairie species. They create a classroom mural of a prairie ecosystem; and create reports about what they have found out.

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...

Students explore the challenges of living in space by designing a facility that can provide everything required to support humans and can protect them from the harsh environment of space.

Students perform a classroom experiment on the organisms of worms. They view the behaviors of the worms and analyze their results. This lesson introduces students to the techniques involved in behavioral studies.

Students find out that all habitats have a carrying capacity. They explore how the world's human population has grown markedly in the 20th century, and that humans impact environmental health. Students investigate that people can and...
