Students examine leaves to understand their role in making food for the plant and breathing through stomata.
A collection of supplemental activities to reinforce foundational concepts of DNA, inheritance, and genetics. Students will practice vocabulary, sequencing biological structures, and verifying facts through interactive worksheets.
Students act as 'Marine Bio-Engineers' to design and build artificial reef structures that support a healthy ecosystem on Mystery Island's coast, focusing on biotic and abiotic interactions.
Students design and build 'Food Web Restoration' models to visualize and explain the flow of energy from producers to multiple consumers on Mystery Island.
Students design and build 'Weather Shields' to protect a model plant from extreme temperature and precipitation changes on Mystery Island, exploring how environmental factors affect organisms.
Students act as 'Botanical Engineers' to design and build seed models that can travel through the air to reach new parts of Mystery Island, focusing on seed dispersal methods.
Students design external structures for a 'Mystery Organism' to help it meet its basic needs (food, water, shelter) on Mystery Island, focusing on the link between structure and function.
An introductory lesson on tiger-related vocabulary, focusing on conservation, biology, and habitat through kid-friendly definitions and syllable practice.
An outdoor sensory experience where students use natural materials to create 'mud pies,' focusing on texture, composition, and imaginative play.
Students compare and contrast the textures and molding properties of homemade playdough and kinetic sand through tactile exploration.
A deep dive into non-Newtonian fluids as students mix cornstarch and water to create oobleck, exploring how it changes from solid to liquid.
Students explore density and mixtures by creating mesmerizing sensory bottles using oil, water, and various floating objects.
A comprehensive 3rd-grade science lesson that transforms students into junior meteorologists, covering weather phenomena, measurement tools, and forecasting through hands-on observation and data analysis.
A comprehensive 2-week science lesson for 3rd grade focusing on plant structures, their functions, survival needs, and the complete life cycle of seed plants. Students will investigate how plants interact with their environment and soil to thrive.
