Grade 3 · Life Science
Animal & Plant Life Cycles
Build and compare life-cycle models to explain how organisms begin life, grow and change, reproduce, and eventually die while offspring begin a new generation.
46 min · ~10 min prep · 6 materials
Grade 1 · Life Science
Animal Body Parts & Functions
Observe external animal parts, connect each structure to a useful function, gather simple evidence, and use one animal idea in a simple design.
35 min · ~8 min prep · 6 materials
Grade 1 · Life Science
Young Plants & Animals: Like Their Parents
Look closely at animal and plant families. Young living things can share traits with their parents and still be different in some ways.
38 min · ~8 min prep · 4 materials
Grade 2 · Life Science
Habitats & Biodiversity
Observe two habitat scenes, record the different kinds of plants and animals you find, and compare the variety shown by the two records.
40 min · ~10 min prep · 4 materials
Grade 2 · Life Science
Pollination & Seed Dispersal
Observe what moves, test a seed model, and explain how pollen and seeds travel in different ways.
42 min · ~8 min prep · 6 materials
Grade 3 · Life Science
Inherited Traits & Variation
Use plant and animal data to find inherited-trait patterns, variation among similar organisms, and evidence that environmental conditions can influence how traits develop.

Plant & Animal Structures: Form Fits Function
Use diagrams and evidence to explain how internal and external structures help plants and animals survive, grow, behave, and reproduce.
50 min · ~10 min prep · 5 materials
Grade 5 · Life Science
Food Webs: Matter & Energy in Ecosystems
Build and read food webs to trace how matter and food energy move through an ecosystem. Use arrows carefully and make predictions from direct feeding relationships.
