Students will be introduced to the concept of Ratio using an activity with newspapers. They will also reinforce their understanding of fractions as well as fraction to decimal conversions.

Students will observe mealworms and earthworms and then make and record observations about their behavior. Students will differentiate between learned and instinctual/inherited behaviors by observing the worms' actions in a variety of scenarios.

With this resource, students will survey their relatives and non-relatives and compare traits.

This resource explains the difference in asexual and sexual reproduction and allows students to practice sorting this knowledge.

With this resource, students will first read about inherited versus acquired traits then, test their knowledge on these traits.

This resource explains why those with sickle cell anemia will not contract malaria.

This resource will allow you to determine how different traits offer a greater chance for an organism to survive.

With this resource, students will read information about how organisms reporduce and then answer a short quiz.

In this lesson, students will write rational numbers in various forms. Then they will order rational numbers and find their approximate location on a number line.

In this lesson, students will understand the role of the sun as a source of heat on Earth as they participate in two activities: Solar Panning and Greenhouse Model. Students will discover the effects of the sun's heat energy by measuring the temperature of pans of water left in a sunny place over a long time period, and they will create mini greenhouses using 2 liter bottles of soil to measure how the earth's temperature rises as a result of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The strength of this lesson can be found in the varied family, extension, differentiation and inquiry-based activities that are included.

In this lesson, students will learn about fractions, especially 1/2, by participating in a Half-Birthday Party.

In this activity, students will use their five senses to conduct outdoor observations of the four seasons.

In this activity students will research ecosystems at risk and write a summary of relationships that are suffering or are causing problems in some of Earth's best known ecosystems.

This resource is an article with examples of how technological advances have increased human knowledge and improved our ability to predict how changes will affect Earth’s systems.

In ths activity, students will plan and conduct an experiment to investigate what happens to a small ecosystem when you change one abiotic or biotic factor.

In this lesson, students will understand the concepts of place value and rounding using a variety of mathematical activities.

This lesson focuses on students understanding how organisms' specialized structures and variations work with the environment to help them survive. Students will create a life form to populate one of the landforms on the planet Wakyabi. Thye must add three specialized structures to their organism in order to ensure its survival.

In this lesson, students will learn about animal adaptation, hibernation, and migration. Students will do an experiment that shows how adaptation works and will make their own book about apple trees.
