The Origin of Life
In this origin of life worksheet, students write answers to five questions. They describe characteristics of the first life forms and how scientists believe oxygen accumulated in the Earth's atmosphere.
Curated OER
Classification Number Two
A three-page quiz assessing budding biologists' understanding of classification. Middle-level learners may need a little additional time on this, but should be able to handle the concepts with ease.
Curated OER
Microorganism Multiplication
Sixth graders conduct experiments with yeast to study characteristics of microorganisms. They, working is small groups, change the variables in the experiments and note the results which they later discuss as a class.
Curated OER
Yeast
Young scholars study the characteristics of yeasts. In this biology lesson, students conduct experiments to measure yeast respiration. They discuss the favorable conditions needed for growing them.
Curated OER
Honey Bee Biology
Students review the basic parts of an insect and explore the anatomical characteristics of a honey bee. The second part of the lesson focuses on ways to identify a honey bee from other stinging insects.
Curated OER
Creepy Critters
Students develop a classification scheme based on the structural features of organisms. In this organism lesson students divide into teams and complete a fun activity.
Curated OER
Creepy Critters
Students classify imaginary newly discovered organisms. For this classification lesson, students are given cards showing imaginary organisms that have been recently discovered. They must classify the organisms based on their...
Curated OER
Birth, Growth and... Reproduction!
Students research the Arctic Hare and chart relevant information under month headings. They compare the information about the Arctic hare to other Arctic mammals.
Curated OER
Biological Taxonomy
In this biology worksheet, students read about biological taxonomy. They then use the information they learned to answer the 13 questions on the worksheet. The answers are on the last page of the packet.
Curated OER
Classification 2
Students discuss what makes a living thing (for example, cellular respiration) and collect a selection of living things from outside. They divide their organisms into plants and animals and create a key for the divisions.
Curated OER
COMPARE SOILS BY GROWING PLANTS
The student will identify the difference in the rate of plant growth in three soils that vary in organic matter.1. Obtain three to four flowerpots, different types of soil, a record chart, three to five beans for each pot, and water....
