Photosynthesis: Trapping the Sun's Energy
In this photosynthesis worksheet, students learn how plants trap the sun's energy and the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis which includes the Calvin cycle. This worksheet has 5 true or false, 6 fill in the blank, 2 short...
Curated OER
The Life Cycle of a Star
In this stars instructional activity, students read about the different stages in the life cycle of a star. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Ecosystems Beneath the Surface
Sixth graders create a KWL chart about microorganisms. In this biology lesson, 6th graders create and label a diagram on a microbial mat. They investigate the processes involved in the carbon, oxygen and sulfur cycles.
