Young scholars examine environmental issues. In this energy instructional activity, students explore the topic of energy conservation and then create marketing (to be implemented in their school) meant to communicate the benefits of...

Students make observations of pupa larvae to make notes on the development into the monarch butterfly. The observations teach learners about the life cycle and graphing is done to record the statistical analysis.

Learners watch for milkweed plants from the previous fall and choose several new plants to monitor. Then make observations and measurements about the plants. The connection with the weather is also made with the monitoring of...

Students keep data records of the growth of Monarch larvae. The observations are made with the change of each stage of development. The observations are to stimulate the answering of questions about biological development.

Students are guided through the Scientific Method to perform observations about the pupa stage of the monarch butterfly. The results of an experiment are used to make assumptions about growth and development.

Students monitor the growth of milkweed plants. The observations are made to help make conclusions about growth and development.

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson connects to the skills of graphing and critical...

Learners collect larvae and observe them. The data tables are filled out and comparisons are made daily. The lesson progresses with more observations until larvae become adults.

Students answer questions about the fall migration of the monarch butterfly. The data of observations is graphed and displayed using computer technology. This is a good lesson for crossing the curriculum with mathematics.
