See the many birds that spend their summer in the Arctic in this video segment from Nature. [2:52]
In this video, students sit around a poster board and state stages in the life cycles of a butterfly and then a frog, placing pictures and other elements on the board that represent each stage. [2:44]
The learning resource is a guide to a better understanding of butterflies. Some topics discussed are the identification, food, and life cycle of the butterfly. In addition to an information guide the activity has images of butterflies.
How does mimicry work in butterflies? Academy researcher Durrell Kapan and his colleagues have found the answer in one butterfly's genome.
This pathway explores the concepts of natural selection and evolution of populations. Stories from scientists sharing their perspective on this topic and their research are embedded throughout the pathway.
Blended learning lesson plans for primary aged students to investigate butterflies and the butterfly life cycle. Great to use during small group/ guided reading time.
Learn about the wildebeest and locusts on the move in this video segment from Nature. [2:47]
Colorful pictures display various types of insects. You can hear the correct Spanish pronunciation and see the correct spelling by holding your mouse over the picture.
In this lesson, students will extend their knowledge of matter and energy cycles in an organism to engineering life cycle assessment of a product. Students will learn about product life cycle assessment and the flow of energy through the cycle, comparing it to the flow of nutrients and energy in the life cycle of an organism.
All animals develop and grow over time. The animals in this document undergo one of the most dramatic developmental processes known, metamorphosis. See if you can place the developmental stages in their proper order.
