Students discover how worms contribute to the balance of the environment. In this composting lesson, students study the composting and decomposition processes. Students then create habitats for worms that allow them to do their jobs.

Students explore the environment they live in. In this habitats lesson, students define habitat and create a web in kidspiration. Students take a walk outside and record what they see and hear and may take pictures as well. Students...

Learners teach others about habitats. In this Science lesson, students use a Science Log to record data about a habitat for research. Learners analyze the data and construct an eco-chamber. Students share what they have found with other...

Young scholars examine the current technologies used in mapping resources in the marine environment. They look at remote sensing, sounding, and underwater vehicles. They examine image from the benthic habitat produced by the GIS in order...

Students compare bottled water qualities to water found naturally in a pond habitat. They research their state's laws/regulations in regard to bottled water and study the advertising, cost, and quality of brands of bottled water. They...

Fifth graders describe a wetland habitat and its components. They provide, in writing, at least one example of a wetland food chain, relate wetlands to ecological functions, and relate the importance of wetland functions to their own...

Learners are introduced to the concept and components of a habitat. They discuss the key components of a habitat and describe how certain factors can cause disturbances in a habitat and change its population. Activities are leveled...

First graders explore wildlife and habitats in the Arizona desert. Throughout a classroom discussion, 1st graders observe pictures of the desert and animals that live there. As they go on a nature walk around the school, students...

Middle schoolers are able to define habitat, and identify the four things that living things need to survive. They are able to describe how living things are adapted to their habitats.

Students observe and discuss the Idaho state quarter to begin an activity in which they define and draw different types of habitats. They discuss the habitats that the migrating Peregrine falcon, which appears on the Idaho quarter,...

Students are able to define habitat. They are able to identify the four things that living things need to survive. Students are able to describe how living things are adapted to their habitats.

These animals need to find their homes! Young scholars help them by drawing lines from each animal on the left to its habitat on the right. There is no guessing to be done here, though; pairs are directly across from one another. They...

Fourth graders create animal habitats and explain the biomes they live in.  In this habitat instructional activity, 4th graders recognize the basic needs of animals, characteristics of animals differences and places where they live....

Students complete various activities centering around habitats.  For this habitats lesson, students learn about the types of habitats, complete worksheets, read books about different habitats, draw a habitat and complete a test.

Learners explore the natural environment through a video and nature sounds tape. They keep journal's of the unit's activities and vocabulary terms. They play a web of interdependence game and compose a list of forest animals and write...

Explore six different habitats—wetlands, rainforest, savannah, desert, city, and cultivated land—to determine which habitat factors (food, water, shelter, and space) are high, medium, or low in each. Learners also use maps of Africa...

Students discover the many different animals within various habitats and discover how each individual species interacts with its particular environment. Through charting different animals and their distinct habitat and matching animals...

Students explore marine turtle habitats. Students research one species of marine turtle found in the Gulf of Mexico. They identify plants and animals in the habitat. They create a model or replica using information gathered through their...

Young scholars use a computer and the internet to click on highlighted words to find certain answers. They then write the answer to the questions on paper. Finally, students choose one animal to write about. They research the animal on...

Students explore natural animal habitats. In this lesson on biomimicry and habitation design, students will use classroom and field examples to examine animal habitats. Students will construct a model of a natural animal habitat. This...
