This is a classroom activity where students will make plant rubbings and plant pressings of Minnesota plants.
This activity is a field investigation where students compare leaves, share observations and develop an investigable question to be explored by the class in small groups.
The lesson plans are on The solar system and the planets within our solar system. The second lesson plan is on Plant life cycles and plants growth
This activity is a guided inquiry where students will find their own lichen and classify it into one of three categories. They will collect, analyze, and present their finding to the class.
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to learn about the life cycle of plabts. The five activities included in this lesson plan provide students with evidence that all living things grow and change as they progress through their life cycle. All of the activities detailed in this lesson plan can be done with students who are visually impaired, if teachers adapt them using Resources for Teaching and Adapting Lessons for Students with Visual Impairments. Tactile models and braille materials will be key and all of the activities will require more time for repeated tactical exploration and expression.
This unit covers the processes of photosynthesis, extinction, biomimicry and bioremediation. In the first lesson on photosynthesis, students learn how engineers use the natural process of photosynthesis as an exemplary model of a complex yet efficient process for converting solar energy to chemical energy or distributing water throughout a system. In the next lesson on species extinction, students learn that it is happening at an alarming rate. Students discover that the destruction of habitat is the main reason many species are threatened and how engineers are trying to stop this habitat destruction. The third lesson introduces students to the idea of biomimicry or looking to nature for engineering ideas. And, in the fourth and final lesson, students learn about a specialty branch of engineering called bioremediation the use of living organisms to aid in the clean up of pollutant spills.
Students plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, expose them to varying light or soil moisture conditions. They measure growth of the seedlings every few days using non-standard measurement (inch cubes). After a few weeks, they compare the growth of plants exposed to the different conditions and make bar comparative graphs, which they analyze to draw conclusions about the needs of plants.
Drawings and visualizations are used to help participants conceptualize the location and steps involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. The drawsing include light reactions of photosynthesis including location and steps for non-cyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation.
This reference list identifies six of the best herbaria housed and maintained by large research institutions and universities in the U.S. Where possible, it includes the following information for each herbarium: mailing address and phone number,Web site and email address, details about its specimen collection,whether it is open to the public or only to scientists and researchers, and the type of support offered, including whether a searchable database of its collection is available on the Web.
This illustration shows the life cycle of the liverwort, Marchantia; it includes alternation between the sporophyte and gametophyte generation as well as asexual reproduction via gemma cups.
O Manual intuitivo de pigmentos amazônicos é um produto educacional voltado para o ensino das ciências ambientais, tendo como público alvo docentes e discentes do ensino básico. Apresenta conteúdos e elementos da região amazônica presentes no contexto dos educandos como o açaí, o camu-camu, buriti, solos amazônicos, além de textos com referência aos ecossistemas locais (várzea, terra firme e igapó). A proposta visa contribuir nas diversas modalidades de ensino, podendo ser usado como material didático nas escolas e nos espaços não formais, sendo passível de adaptações conforme a necessidade, conteúdo e faixa etária do educando.
Assigning this Quiz gives a piece of knowledge about the important medicinal plants we use in our day to day life. Secondly, enrich knowledge about the usage of medicinal plants with their secondary metabolites having the ability to cure certain disease. Thirdly about knowing or identifying the name of the plants, its uses by viewing its image. Medicinal plants give us economic importance as well as make us to usage in daily life.
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to understand the structure of a plant cell. The purpose of this activity is to create an accurate representation of the shape and characteristics of plant cells. The cell models provide both tactile and kinesthetic feedback for students learning the structure of the cell. The bright colors and good contract also work well for students with low vision.
This module has chapters divided into sections.These include classification of plants,study of their parts structure and functions.This includes learing objectives,material,resource list,activites(quiz,puzzles,crossword,google form,padlet),assessments(activity based),videos.It summarises the chapter into a concept map later in section 7.It also include an extended learning section 11 where learners can go through for further information
In this lesson, students will be amateur mycologists--collecting and analyzing various mushrooms. Through observation and discussion, students will gain knowledge of the basic anatomy of mushrooms, their life cycle, and their method of reproduction through spores. Students will learn to create spore prints of mushrooms and label and preserve their spore prints, just like a mycologist. Students also will learn that by comparing spore prints, they can identify different mushroom species.
This web page describes details of poisonous mushrooms under the headings like,
1.Signs and symptoms
2.Causes
3.Poisonous mushrooms
4.Prognosis and treatment
5.Society and culture
6.Folk traditions
7.Notable cases
