Students investigate what dissolved oxygen is and why it is important to aquatic life and what factors influence levels of dissolved oxygen in a lake. They study how to use MS Excel to make charts to show trends and correlations.

Students use a JAVA interface to explore the Daisy World model to illustrate a mechanism through which - according to the Gaian hypothesis - biota might optimize their abiotic environment by means of negative feedback.

Learners review three types of polygons that are triangles, squares, and hexagons. They use a computer program to draw various types of tessellations. The students use the drawing of a honeybee as inspiration.

Students recognize the relationships among the various parts of the world's environment. They practice the concepts of ecology and ecology. The importance of recycling and the complexities of world politics is also taught.

Students will be able to identify the different stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle as well as the different stages of mitosis in the proper order. Students will also be able to recognize what organelles of the cell are integral to...

Learners are introduced to new concepts and vocabulary by using a creative project of making a placemat. The kinesthetic learners will benefit from this kind of project. Also it is great for those who think artistically.

Young scholars perform a lab to becoe familar with scientific concepts. The skill of inquiry is essential and this lesson furthers its development. The intelligence of kinesthetics is used as learners perform the many aspects of this lab...

Fifth graders explore the concept of how the more diverse an ecosystem is, the more interdependence of species exists within that system. The complex relationships among diverse species are difficult to identify. As species disappear or...

Students investigate plant reproduction, pollen collection and identification. They collect pollen samples over a twenty four hour period and examine them under a microscope.

Students explore and observe living development using live fertilized chicken eggs. They open the eggs approximately 72 hrs after fertilization and make observations for several days.

High schoolers keep detailed weather records during the fall migration. If they are also Observing Fall Migrants, they will be able to compare weather conditions on days that they do and do not see monarchs. Having a class record 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.

Students participate in an experiment in which they practice moving genes from one organism to another. They examine the results of a recombination of jellyfish. They identify different types of bacteria as well.

Learners are introduced to the parts of trees through discussion and participation in learning centers with hands on activities that focus on each part.

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Students conduct an experiment to evaluate the accuracy of their senses.
