Animal Diorama Project with Rubric
This is a complete animal diorama project, in which the students choose an animal and create an animal and habitat diorama in a shoebox along with a four paragraph report about the animal. The students will write about the animal's characteristics, habitat, diet, and what they learned. The report can be adjusted down to a fill-in-the-blank type of activity if paragraph writing is too difficult for the students; there is a planning sheet included to make this possible.

Butterfly Camouflage Lab
Students color and hide 3 paper butterflies around the classroom. They use colored pencils, crayons and markers to provide camouflage so the butterfly blends in with its natural environment. After 2-3 days of creating and preparing, students get an opportunity to hide their butterfiles. The instructor acts as the predator to find as many butterflies as possible. After 2 trips aroudnd the classroom, any butterflies that have not yet been discovered are revealed by their creators. Prizes are

Shoe Dichotomous Key Lab
Students come in and all place their right shoes into a large pile. They then use the provided template to create a dichotomous key that separates the shoes into smaller and smaller piles based on their charateristics until all students have their shoes back.
The next day, repeat using the already created dichotomous key and discuss why it didn't work the next day (students wearing different shoes have introduced "new" organisms into the environment).

Invent an alien: learning about the solar system & systems of the body
This project gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the solar system, systems of the human body, and adaptations. Students will be given the opportunity to research a planet (it's atmosphere, weather, composition, etc.), then invent an alien that would be able to survive on the planet. While inventing their alien, students need to create systems of the alien's body that will allow it to survive on the assigned planet. Students also need to ensure that the alien's bod

Invent an Animal packet
This is a fun science packet that introduces the concept of animal adaptations and walks students through the steps to invent their own animal, adapted to its environment. In my class, I had students draw randomly from a list of environments (included in last page of packet) and then research the area and adapt an animal to fit. I also required my students to present their animal to the class. The packet also includes a grading sheet for presentations. However, you can modify this packet to fit

Cell Metaphor Poster Project
Cell Metaphor Poster Project by Miss Middle School Teacher
This is a fun and easy way for students to learn about the parts of the cell and incorporate some literacy! Students turn a cell into a metaphor and create a poster displaying the connections they've made.
We always start by completing an example as a class. I say, "A Cell is a School! If this is true, our principal is the nucleus because she controls what goes on in the building. Who protects her? What would our nuclear membrane be?"

Five Levels of Biological Organization
This is a great activity to use when teaching about biomes, ecosystems, food chains/food webs, etc. It sounds difficult but isn't, and my 5th grade students enjoy doing this activity every year. This would be appropriate for students up to 7th or 8th grade, and it would also be a good activity for an older special needs student, depending upon his/her abilities.The activity includes directions, a sheet to print out for the students to draw their biotic and abiotic factors, sample illustrations

This unit on Plant Classification was based on Montessori Upper Elementary curriculum materials and were designed to create a manageable system for self-guided student follow-up. Though designed around Montessori materials, these extensions, particularly the Activity Cards and Artistic Expression projects, can be used with other instructional methods with relative ease. When used in the non-Montessori classroom, these materials will provide a wonderful extension for standards-based instruction
