| Acidification Demo | In this lesson students observe first hand CO2 being absorbed into water. | Biology, Climate Change, Ecology, Marine | Elementary (4-5) |
| All About Owls | In this lesson students learn about the physical and behavioral adaptations of owls, and how these adaptations help them survive. Students will also learn how these adaptations affect what they eat. | Biology, Ecology | Elementary (4-5) |
| Analyzing a Leaf Pack | In this lesson students will examine the leaf packs created in ‘Biodiversity in a Leaf Pack’ lesson to discover which macroinvertebrates live in their local stream ecosystem. | Biology, Ecology | Elementary (4-5) |
| Analyzing Insect Data | Students in this lesson will analyze biodiversity data, and make inferences about local biodiversity. | Biology | Elementary (4-5), Middle School (6-8) |
| Biodiversity in a Leaf Pack | In this lesson students will make artificial leaf packs to create a model habitat for freshwater macroinvertebrates to determine which organism are present in each microhabitat. | Biology, Ecology | Elementary (4-5) |
| Bioenergy Farm Game | In this lesson students learn about the pros and cons of various biofuel crops. How these crops help or hurt the environment, and how a farmer benefits from growing biofuel crops. | Bioenergy, Biology | High School (9-12) |
