Lesson Plan |
The Effects of Global Warming in AlaskaIn this media-rich lesson, students learn how global warming is changing the Alaskan environment and examine the consequences of climate change on the region's human and wildlife inhabitants. |
6-12 |
Lesson Plan |
Einstein's Innovative ThinkingStudents are introduced to two of Einstein's most famous theories -- special relativity and general relativity -- and what he was thinking when he developed them. |
9-12 |
Lesson Plan |
Electric CircuitsStudents model, build, and draw diagrams of electric circuits and test the conductivity of a variety of materials. |
3-8 |
Lesson Plan |
Endangered RelationshipsThis lesson uses videos from Nature’s "Crash: A Tale of Two Species" to explore the interrelationship between the horseshoe crab and a small migratory bird called the red knot. |
5-8 |
Lesson Plan |
Energy ProductionStudents examine the role of energy in our daily lives and how we produce energy to power our cities, homes, and schools. The advantages and disadvantages of each energy source are also addressed. |
6-12 |
Lesson Plan |
The Ethical Considerations of Personal GenomicsIn this media-rich lesson, students explore some of the ethical, legal, and social issues related to personal genetic testing and genome sequencing. |
9-12 |
Lesson Plan |
Ethical Issues in the Human Genome ProjectStudents work in teams to analyze a case study that raises arguments for and against patenting genetic code. They explore the implications of DNA databases, genetic screening and gene modification. |
9-12 |
Lesson Plan |
Evidence for EvolutionStudents learn about the fossil record, the primary type of evidence scientists use to piece together the history of life and to support and refine the theory of evolution. |
6-8 |
Lesson Plan |
Evolutionary Arms RaceStudents examine the interactions among different types of organisms and the importance of these relationships to the evolution of species. |
6-8 |
Lesson Plan |
Experimenting with ExperimentsUsing segments from The Human Spark, students learn how to design and critique experiments with living subjects. |
5-8 |
Lesson Plan |
Exploring Environmental ChangeStudents explore the connections that can exist in a natural environment, and examine how changes to the environment, particularly those caused by human activity, can affect those connections. |
6-9 |
Lesson Plan |
Exploring PlantsIn this media-rich lesson, students observe plant growth by watching a time-lapse video and by growing their own seeds. They identify the conditions seeds need to germinate and consider the role that fruits play in seed dispersal. |
K-2 |
Lesson Plan |
Exploring Structure and Function in Biological SystemsIn this media-rich lesson, students analyze structure and function relationships at different levels of organization in nonbiological systems and then perform a similar analysis using biological systems. |
9-12 |
Lesson Plan |
Exploring the "Systems" in EcosystemsIn this media-rich lesson, students use a systems thinking approach to explore the components and processes of ecosystems. They analyze both a hypothetical and a local ecosystem by identifying abiotic and biotic components and their relationships. |
6-8 |
Lesson Plan |
The Expression of Genetic InformationIn this media-rich lesson, students explore the preservation and expression of genetic information within the cell. They analyze a short DNA sequence, translate an RNA sequence, and relate a sequence difference to a particular trait. |
9-12 |
Lesson Plan |
Extreme LivingUsing cards that show extremophiles and some of Earth’s extreme environments, students match a microbe to an extreme environment in which it could live. |
1-6 |
Lesson Plan |
Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!In this Nature lesson, students will learn about different types of volcanoes, how and why they erupt and the physical impact of volcanic eruptions. |
9-11 |
Lesson Plan |
Fiber OpticsIn this media-rich lesson plan, students investigate how the index of refraction of materials is related to fiber optics: they explore the phenomenon of total internal reflection and learn how dispersion can affect fiber optics. |
9-12 |
