Students will play a fun and engaging card game to learn about seabird adaptations and explore some of the environmental challenges (natural and human-induced) seabirds face. The game focuses on the Common Murre.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
Learn about how organisms adapt to their habitats. This video is part of The Virtual School's "Adapting and Living Together" chapter within our Ecology and Environment topic.
Material Type: Diagram/Illustration, Full Course, Lecture, Syllabus
If you could create a new creature, what adaptations would it have and why? In this activity students design a trait card for an organism using behavioral and physical adaptations to help it survive in its environment.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
This video segment from IdahoPTV's D4K explains and gives examples of the 4 states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Material Type: Lesson
Students act as chemical engineers and use LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robotics to record temperatures and learn about the three states of matter. Properties of matter can be measured in various ways, including volume, mass, density and temperature. Students measure the temperature of water in its solid state (ice) as it is melted and then evaporated.
