Vermicomposting (Grades K-2)
Students create a worm bin which will serve as a basis for investigations about ecosystems, life and nutrient cycles, and decomposition.
Flower Power (Grades 6-8)
Students observe the anatomical structures of flowers and explain a flower's role in plant growth and reproduction as well as their connection to our food supply.
A Recipe for Genetics: Selective Breeding and Bioengineering (Grades 9-12)
Students identify technologies that have changed the way humans affect the inheritance of desired traits in organisms; compare and contrast selective breeding methods to bioengineering techniques; and analyze data to determine the best solution for cultivating desired traits in organisms.
Food Systems Feed the World
Students will explore the steps and processes that create a food system and gain an understanding of hunger as it relates to the physical well-being, culture, and geographic location of all people. Students will learn what a food system encompasses, create a "food system chain," and discuss why hunger still exists despite modern advances that have made the US food system highly efficient.
Honey Bees: A Pollination Simulation
Students identify the parts of a honey bee, the stages of its life cycle, and its role in pollination.
The Amazing Honey Bee
Students investigate the three types of honey bees in a colony, identify their roles, and recognize honey bees as part of a community that works together.
Sunflower Life Cycles
Students observe the growth and development of sunflowers, identify how sunflower seeds are used, and make a paper plate sunflower to illustrate the life cycle of the sunflower.
Inside the Egg, Hatching Chicks (Grades 3-5)
Students investigate embryo development in chicken eggs.
Hatching Science with Classroom Chicks (Grades 3-5)
Students explore how an embryo develops inside of a chicken egg over time, discuss life cycles and other natural cycles, and observe similarities and differences between parents and offspring.
Hatching Science with Classroom Chicks (Grades K-2)
Students explore how an embryo develops inside of a chicken egg over time, discuss life cycles and other natural cycles, and observe similarities and differences between parents and offspring.
From Chicken Little to Chicken Big (Grades 3-5)
Students identify different breeds of chickens, examine physical characteristics, and determine the stages of a chicken's life cycle.
