Eighth graders explore the theory of evolution of whales.  In this walking whales lesson students study a reading packet, divide into groups and respond to given questions. 

First graders listen to and discuss Patrick's Dinosaurs by Carol Carrick. They have a pretend dinosaur dig using dog biscuits and chicken bones. Students discuss how fossils are formed and make reproductions of them. After discussing the...

Students read and discuss the book about the butterfly and create their own butterflies using liquid watercolors and pipe cleaners. They then create a butterfly development book, included in the lesson, and color the pictures using...

Young scholars use a video, the Internet and hands-on activities to explore how to determine the age of rocks and fossils based on radioactive decay data.

Learners explain the laws of volume and pressure, identify what a limiting reagent is and why it is important in a chemical reaction, and distinguish between fossil fuels and renewable energy sources.

Students describe, measure and compare cranial casts from contemporary apes (chimpanzees and gorillas, typically), modern humans and fossil "hominids" (erect and bipedal forms evolutionarily separated from apes).

Students gather and classify samples of a given item (rocks, fossils, seeds, etc.) They discuss various ways of classifying and that there are many different ways that are acceptable.

Students model the geologic timescale using distance as a metaphor for time. They write a summary of a major event or fossil organism. and station themselves and their summaries along a path within a gymnasium, and present their...

Students stud the concept of Pangaea by using Wegener's clues to construct a map of the continents joined together. They determine how fossil distribution can be used to enhance the study of continental drift. They locate the...

Pupils determine the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources and identify the different forms of energy. They discuss life without energy and where energy comes from before reading an article about the different sources...

In this absolute time worksheet, learners answer eleven questions about ways to measure the age of fossils. They define half-life, answer questions about radioactive dating, tree rings and varves.

Students engage in a lab which introduces them to fossils and paleontology. They examine eleven numbered boxes containing fossils which are related to the questions on this lab then answer questions on a lab sheet imbedded in this plan.

Students explore fossils and how they are found by paleontologists.

Students engage in a role-play of a dinosaur excavation dig. They dig through sand to locate buried bones and then discuss the ethics of destroying buildings and other property to get at the fossil remains.

Young scholars compare and contrast the coelacanth, a living fossil, with a moray eel and a bull shark. They complete a Fish Anatomy worksheet while researching the skeleton, body coverings and buoyancy of each fish.

Students read the scripture that cooresponds with this lesson on dinosaurs. Using the text, they determine the types of animals on the ark with Noah. They identify the factors necessary for fossil formation and discuss how the ark...

In this ancient camel history worksheet, learners complete a cloze activity in which 7 words from a word bank are inserted into a factual text. This is to be used with an information handout that is not included here.

Students study human evolution and the scientific process. They complete the Origins of Humankind Web activity to become familiar with the hominid species as well as the associated evidence found, in the form of fossils and artifacts.

Third graders use the Internet to research a specific dinosaur. They work in pairs and individually to browse dinosaur websites, take notes on pertinent information, write, edit and illustrate reports. They post their work.

Young scholars observe air quality and monoxide data. In this air quality instructional activity, students draw conclusions and manipulate data from a one year period on changes in air quality.

Biotechnology pros produce their own biofuel using waste oil and fresh vegetable oil. They test the quality of their product using titration techniques and pH analysis. They write their observations and report their findings. Be aware...
