FOOD WEB Dice Roll Game For Events Causing Changes in Populations- Biodiversity
Fun and engaging, digital interactive game to determine the effects of natural or man made disturbances on the biodiversity of populations of organisms in a FOREST food web. Easy prep and great for Earth Day or environmental science units! Students first use the given food chains to draw lines connecting interacting organisms on the forest ecosystem food web. Then they roll a pair of dice to determine which detrimental event occurred. They DELETE the lines connecting the affected organisms on

STEM Water Pollution FILTER Design Project Lab EARTH DAY MS-ESS3-3, MS-ETS1-2
Tap into your students’ creativity as they engineer, design and create water filters as part of a STEM unit on water pollution and primary sewage treatment discussing human impact on the environment. This follows the MS-ESS3-3 EARTH AND HUMAN ACTIVITY standards and the MS-ETS1-2 and MS-ETS1-3 ENGINEERING DESIGN standards. The challenge is for the students to use household materials to create layers in their water bottle filters to clean a batch of teacher created “dirty water”. Once they have h

CREATE FOREST FOOD CHAINS DRAG AND DROP Digital Interactive Activity Energy Flow
Interactive, no prep activity where students will create 8 separate FOREST food chains using their digital devices to drag and drop the plants or animals into the food chain sequences. Discuss the movement of matter and energy among plants, animals, decomposers and the environment. Depending on the age group, you may or may not want to show them the reference page telling which animals eat which organisms. Some of the food chains have four links and some of them have three. All of the animals a

Population Genetics: Allele Frequency and Natural Selection
This activity asks students to explore what happens to allele frequency in a population of goldfish when environmental pressures (the introduction of a predatory octopus!) are placed on them. Students will be asked to make predictions, interpret data and allele frequencies, create a graph of the allele distribution, and (most importantly) eat goldfish. I have uploaded this in a .docx format so you can modify and differentiate for your classroom and students' needs. I recommend going through t

SCIENCE STATIONS: GREENHOUSE EFFECT (Great for Observations!)
Learn all about the Greenhouse Effect with this in depth Station Activity. I have used these stations two ways: 1) As true stations where the students rotate. 2) Each station completed on a separate day. I use the coordinate graphing as an extra. Students bring it with them to every station and if they finish early they have something to do.
