The
purpose
of
this
resource
is
to
investigate
the
annual
cycle
of
plant
growth
and
decline
using
visualizations
and
graphs.
Students
will
analyze
visualizations
and
graphs
that
show
the
annual
cycle
of
plant
growth
and
decline.
Students
will
explore
patterns
of
annual
change
for
the
globe
and
each
hemisphere
in
several
regions
that
have
different
land
cover
and
will

In
this
lesson
about
the
origin
of
life,
students
will
learn
that
under
suitable
conditions,
life-like
structures
can
form
naturally
from
relatively
simple
materials.
Students
will
mix
a
carbohydrate
solution
with
a
protein
solution,
adjust
the
pH,
and
view
coacervates:
amoeba-like
objects,
which
change
shape,
flow,
merge,
divide,
form
vacuoles,
release
vacuole
contents,
and
show
other
life-like
properties.

The
Living
Machine
Unit
is
a
series
of
activities
and
studies
designed
to
focus
the
student
on
various
aspects
of
wetlands
systems.
In
groups,
students
build
an
artificial
wetland
in
the
classroom.
This
is
a
long-range
study
designed
to
allow
students
to
discover
the
interrelations
between
flora
and
fauna
in
an
ecosystem.
They
will
use
writing,
math,
and

The
objectives
of
this
lesson
plan
are
twofold:
to
have
students
understand
the
benefits
and
problems
associated
with
fire
and
to
understand
the
role
that
fire
plays
in
maintaining
healthy
ecosystems.
Emphasis
throughout
the
lesson
plan
is
placed
on
manager-ignited
prescribed
burns
and
natural
fires,
and
their
relevance
and
importance
to
various
types
of
fire-adapted
ecosystems
such
as
chaparral,

of
the

ecosystem
(strong
winds,

characteristics
make
it
well
adapted
to
the

This
activity
has
students
inoculate
an
agar
plate
with
yeast
and
expose
it
to
sunlight
to
determine
the
effect
of
ultraviolet
(UV)
radiation
on
living
organisms.
Multiple
plates
are
exposed
to
sunlight
with
individual
groups
assigned
different
exposure
times.
The
plates
are
incubated,
and
then
observed
for
differences
in
yeast
growth.
Class

This
information
will
provide
students
with
an
opportunity
to
understand
the
ideas
proposed
by
Jean
Baptiste
de
Lamarck
in
1809.
Lamarck
was
an
eighteenth
century
naturalist
who
came
to
the
idea
that
organisms
change
over
time.
Among
other
things,
he
proposed
a
mechanism
for
cumulative
change
that
was
dependent
on
the
needs
of
organisms
and
resulted
from
the
use
or
disuse
of
particular
body
parts.
