This
series
of
activities
explores
the
mathematical
and
environmental
aspects
of
population
growth.

This
website
integrates
video
footage
and
information
with
lesson
plans
and
activities
to
teach
students
about
the
Temperate
Grasslands
(Prairie)
biome
of
North
America.
The
activities
in
this
unit
are
designed
to
give
students
an
overview
of
the
climate
and
organisms
of
this
biome
in
order
to
better
understand
this
endangered
ecosystem.
There
are
lesson
plans,
instruction
sheets,
and

6-8.
Using
research
on
environmental
conditions
of
the
prairie
ecosystem
(strong
winds,
hot
and
dry
summers,
cold
winters,
and
plants
and
animals),
students
will
design
an
imaginary
animal,
detailing
how
its
physical
and
behavioral
characteristics
make
it
well
adapted
to
the
prairie.
They
will

for
grades
9-12.
It
is
designed
to
introduce
various

that
have
had
a
profound
influence
on
our
attitudes
toward
environmental
issues.
Students
write
a

explaining
the
effects
these
books
might
have
had
on
science
or
society
as
well
as
their
own

This
slide
show
presents
information
about
corals,
which
build
carbonate
skeletons
over
many
years,
forming
the
beautiful
reefs
common
in
tropical
seas.
Some
coral
species
are
sensitive
to
water
temperatures
and
other
environmental
factors,
and
their
skeletons
can
record
information
on
past
climate.
This
slide
set
discusses
the
future
implications
of
climate
variability
through
the
use
of

This
site
provides
background
information
and
a
general
description
of
Cyanobacteria,
which
are
both
aquatic
and
photosynthetic.
That
is,
they
live
in
the
water
and
can
manufacture
their
own
food.
The
site
explains
the
importance
of
these
bacteria
in
the
production
of
oil
deposits.
More
important,
however,
is
the
fact
that
the
oxygen
atmosphere
that
we
depend
on
was
generated
by
numerous
Cyanobacteria

In this activity, students will collect chemical, physical, and biological data from a local lake throughout the year. These data will be contrasted with parallel data from an ice-covered lake in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) in Antarctica. They will explore the differences between their local environment and a perennially ice covered fresh water lake in the MDV.

This
resource
explains
that
all
plants
and
animals
that
live
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay
region
have
specific
needs
that
must
be
met
in
order
for
them
to
live
there,
and
also
that
an
area
has
to
have
the
right
combination
of
food,
light,
temperature,
water,
nutrients,
shelter
and
other
necessities
to
be
a
good
habitat.
Students
will
discover
that
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay
region
there
are

students
will
use
newly
acquired
knowledge
of
reading
vector
images
of
real-time

Ocean
Dynamics
Application
Radar
(CODAR)
data
to
predict
the
movement
of
a
phytoplankton
bloom
off
the
coast
of
New
Jersey.
They
will
discover
that
plankton,
the
microscopic
plants
and
animals
floating
in
the
ocean,
are
the
base
of
the
complex
food
webs
that
