Earth's Seasons - 7 Engaging Lab Stations Help students understand the reasons for Earth's seasons with this engaging lab activity. Through seven unique stations, learners will research, draw models, watch videos, answer questions, and…
Earthquake!: A Cross-Curricular Unit Introduction: As a comprehensive educational resource, Earthquake!: A Cross-Curricular Unit offers enriched pedagogical content for Grade 5 and Grade 6 educators looking to impart environmental science…
A comprehensive hands-on science unit (Teaching & Learning Company/Lorenz, 2008, by Patricia O'Brien) teaching plate tectonics, earthquake causes and measurement, and tsunamis through readings, diagrams, and hands-on activities/experiments.
A 9-station lab rotation activity on earthquakes and volcanoes for middle/high school science, combining a case-study reading, model-building, research, discussion questions, and knowledge checks.
The student lab combines earthworm anatomy observations with questions about digestive and circulatory structures, ending in a comparison with the human digestive system. Teacher guidelines and an answer key support preparation and review. The supplied procedure specifies a live specimen and dissection, so review its suitability and your school’s practical requirements before scheduling; the sheep heart dissection lab provides a separate organ-study extension.
Hop into learning with “egg-citing” songs and stories about the adorable, cuddly, bunny. Kids will enjoy singing silly songs about bunnies, learning fun facts about rabbits, and will meet Jeremy, a little boy who receives a special stuffed…
Easter Chemistry Domino A Fun and Simple Way to Learn the Chemical Elements I always try to find ways to make chemistry fun and less intimidating for my students. That’s why I created this Easter-themed Chemistry Domino game—it’s a really simple activity that helps students get more familiar with element names, symbols, and atomic…
An Easter-themed 'Spot It!'-style picture-matching card game teaching recognition of chemical element symbols/atomic numbers.
An Easter egg-hunt-themed review game that uses plastic-egg question strips to review middle-school life science content (cell biology, genetics/Punnett squares, ecology relationships, natural selection).
Multi-station hands-on lab activity teaching solar and lunar eclipses.
A guided-inquiry lab in which students design and run an experiment testing how a human-caused factor affects a small ecosystem, then write a formal lab report.
Multi-station hands-on lab activity teaching ecological succession (primary and secondary) and the role of forest fires in ecosystems.
Review ecology and ecosystems vocabulary/concepts through a BINGO game with call-out term definitions.
A 20-question ecology/ecosystems task-card review game where students match answers to coded words that assemble into a secret quote about sustainable development, for high-school biology/ecology review.
One-page STEM activity introducing four ecosystem types (forest, desert, marine, tundra) through a drawing-and-paper-craft task.
Device-based QR-code scavenger hunt teaching ecosystems and ecological succession vocabulary and concepts (primary/secondary succession, biotic/abiotic factors, sustainable ecosystems, marine pollution).
Digital interactive notebook (Google Slides) covering a full ecology/ecosystems unit -- spheres of Earth, ecosystem structure, energy flow, cycling of matter, population influences, ecological succession, biomass/fossil fuels, biodiversity, and invasive species -- for 1:1 classroom devices.
Ecosystems Gr. 5-8 Ecosystems Gr. 5-8 simplifies complex life science concepts into lessons and activities that enhance understanding of different types of ecosystems and their dynamics.
9-station rotating lab activity teaching ecosystems, populations, communities, sustainability, and biotic/abiotic factors through varied hands-on tasks.
A hands-on STEM engineering design challenge in which student groups build a device from limited materials to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped, then reflect on and extend the engineering/physics concepts involved.
A hands-on STEM engineering design challenge in which student groups build a device from limited materials to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped, then reflect on and extend the engineering/physics concepts involved.
4 centers for practicing electricity understandings. Great for assessing students knowledge of electricity.
A multi-station rotating lab activity teaching methods of electricity generation, covering renewable energy (hydro, solar, wind) and nuclear fission/fusion, through reading, research, video, and creative tasks.
A two-part electricity unit: Part I is direct-instruction notes and 7-9 worksheets/assignments on electricity fundamentals; Part II is a role-play class project where students debate which type of power plant a fictional town should build.
