Glossary for "Terrestrial Arthropod Adaptations" lesson plan

Handout

This lesson requires students to do a report on distinct scientific fields using Shape of Life videos, Internet resources and a handout about “Cool Science Careers."

Handout

Using this tool, students will practice and deepen their understanding of coral reef basics, what is contributing to their loss, and what is being done to preserve this resource.

Handout

In this lesson, students combine art and science to interpret and illustrate graphical art. In this way, students will build understanding of the power of data infused art to convey the "bigger picture" of climate change. 

Handout

This series of two lessons utilizes current scientific research (by Dr. Josh Lord and Dr. Jim Barry) on the effects of climate change and carbon pollution on communities in the intertidal. Much research before this focused on individual species.

Handout

In this lesson students learn about the effects of different diets and foods on our Climate Crisis and how to make positive changes

Handout

Using this tool, students will practice and deepen their understanding of coral reef basics, what is contribution to their loss, and what is being done to preserve this resource. Students will use the choice board and the resource list to work through (as independently as possible) short-cycle research, and then create two outcome products based on their choices. Possible adaptations and extensions can be exercised by guiding the student choices and the level of support given during the process.
