- Ecosystems Gr. 5-8
1
Study the different kinds of ecosystems and the life that thrives in them. Our resource introduces students to essential life science concepts in a way that makes it more accessible and easier to understand. Start off by examining the different parts of an ecosystem, including biotic and abiotic things. Explore the idea of population and how it grows. Take this one step further by looking at how ecosystems can change and grow. Identify the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem. See how food chains work by creating your own food web. Learn about photosynthesis and the water cycle, and how they affect an ecosystem as a whole. Finally, look through a microscope at the tiny world of microorganisms. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
- Classification & Adaptation Gr. 5-8
2
Delve deep into ecosystems by classifying the beings that live there. Our resource breaks down the different kinds of animals before studying their different adaptations. Start off by answering the question: what do we classify? Then, break down this classification into kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and finally species. Compare the differences between warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals. Create a brochure on your favorite vertebrate before inventing your own invertebrate. Introduce the concept of adaptation and how animals have changed based on their environment. Take this further by conducting a case study on the adaptations of the koala. Finally, explore the concept of evolution and how this idea is backed up by fossil records. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
- Cells Gr. 5-8
3
Become a cell expert. Our resource demonstrates why cells are the building blocks of life. Start your breakdown by first identifying what a cell is. Then, compare single-celled and multicellular organisms. Introduce the concept of DNA before exploring the different parts of a cell. From there, take a look at the jobs of these parts. Move on to cell reproduction by exploring mitosis and meiosis. Dissect plant and animal cells to see how they work and how they are similar. Look at the big picture by seeing how cells become organisms. Finally, learn how particles move through cell membranes with diffusion and osmosis. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
- Ecology & The Environment Big Book Gr. 5-8
4
Explore your environment with our Life Science 3-book BUNDLE. Students begin by studying the different kinds of Ecosystems. See how food chains work by creating your own food web. Look through a microscope at the tiny world of microorganisms. Next, delve deep into ecosystems with Classification & Adaptation. Classify animals by their kingdom all the way down to their species. Then, do a case study on the adaptations of the koala. Finally, take a look at the building blocks of life with Cells. Compare single-celled and multicellular organisms. Look at the big picture by seeing how cells become organisms. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities and experiments. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
