Students discover the faults throughout the Earth. They describe the different types of faults and how they are related to earthquakes. They build models of the faults.

Students identify the main parts of a coral reef. They describe a coral reef food chain.

Young scholars examine the spectra with the use of light while constructing their own spectroscope. They make observations about the colors and visible wavelengths of light and then conduct classroom discussions. As an extension students...

Students examine the effect of foreign species on various habitats. In groups, they identify the population dynamics of the zebra mussel. They calculate averages and graph data from Seneca Lake in New York. They develop hypothesis...

Third graders, after having conducted one experiment three times, record their observations results in a chart. They predict what hidden colors they believe that a leaf holds. Students record their predictions in their science note books...

Students hypothesize what they expect to see on the fabric under each different color or light. For example: under what color light do they expect the fish to be brightest before looking at an ocean scene.

Students observe and classify the permeability of a variety of materials.

Third graders study the diet of the brine shrimp. This is an introduction to a math measurement of a micrometer because of the size of the food brine shrimp feed upon. They make predictions about the types of food shrimp eat based on...

Second graders gain an understanding of how plants produce oxygen and that the oxygen we breathe comes from trees and plants. After a lecture/demo, 2nd graders discuss the ways plants produce oxygen and the detrimental effects of cutting...

Students experiment to determine the positive and negative impacts of human activities on environmental change. They examine how physical and biological processes such as decomposition affect soil characteristics while looking at the pH...

Pupils explain how a sensor works. In this technology lesson, students determine the air quality around their school. They record observations and share results to class.

In this kidneys instructional activity, students review the structure and function of the kidneys in the human body. This instructional activity has 18 fill in the blank statements.

Young scholars examine various soil samples in groups. Using the samples, they identify the characteristics of them and calculate percolation and infiltration rates. They use this information to discover why some species can survive in...

Ninth graders write a letter to the editor about the impact of people on marine life from the point of view of a fish.

Students have a better grasp of the ecosystem of the St. Mary's river. They analyze how the tank is meant to be a miniature of the river. Students inquire how to take care of the tank and its inhabitants. They are introduced to Fundulus...

In this agriculture worksheet, students find the facts needed to construct a website focused around giving information about products that are made from corn.

In this marine life worksheet, students label the ocean animal and each part of its habitat. Students then draw one of the habitats including the animals and plants that live there.

Students study the major phyla of the animal kingdom. In this biology lesson unit, students identify their general characteristics. They define taxonomy terminologies.

High schoolers create a synthetic dye and oxidize the dye and record the effects.

Students, through the media of dance and drama, discover how an animal's behavior helps them to survive in the environment. They practice performing or mimicking how a flamingo's acts and positions itself when being observed. The...

Young scholars observe and describe the cyclic nature of life. They identify and appreciate the importance of a balanced ecosystem. Finally, students compare and contrast biodegradable and non-biodegradable resources in nature and...

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...

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. In this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.

Students will investigate how different materials filter water and learn about water treatment.
