In the computer-based Ancient Civilizations activity, students create their own civilization and see how it fares over the years based on choices they make for location, animals, plants and materials. Students trade resources between their civilizations, repeatedly go to war with unnamed enemies, and learn some fun facts about real-world ancient civilizations along the way. This activity was inspired by Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.

In the paper-based Ancient Civilizations activity, students create their own civilization and see how it fares over the years based on choices they make for location, animals, plants and natural resources. Students create an artistic rendering of their civilization, trade resources between their civilizations and go to war with an unnamed enemy. This activity was inspired by Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.

Animals are an important part of the ecosystem. They help to maintain the balance of nature by providing food for other animals, by pollinating plants, and by dispersing seeds. Animals are also important to humans, as they provide us with food, clothing, and companionship.However, animals are facing a number of threats, including habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. These threats are causing the decline of many animal species, and some species are even facing extinction.It is important to conserve animals and to protect their habitats so that future generations can enjoy them.

In this lesson, students will use teacher provided materials to create an animal habitat. They will work in groups and be assigned a habitat. Each group will need to include plants and animals found in their habitat. Students will present their finished project to the class and each member will give a fact about their habitat. The teacher will assess student understanding based on the models and presentations.

Learn about the physical characteristics of environments and act out the animals that live there!
You are the next contestant on the Take the Stage game show ANIMAL SURVIVAL where you will travel in a hot air balloon to the forest of North America, the savanna of Africa, and then take a submarine ride underwater in the ocean. To play the game, you will act out an animal that would live in each environment, and then write how the physical characteristics of each environment helps your animal survive.
Learning Objective: observe and describe the physical characteristics of environments and how they support populations and communities of plants and animals within an ecosystem.
Students build a 9 M X 9 M model of an animal or plant cell with cell organelles inside it and give cell tours to Life Science students. May be done as two large groups, or a whole class project.
