Document: Succession Worksheet Abstract: Succession, a series of environmental changes, occurs in all ecosystems.  The stages that any ecosystem passes through are predictable.  In this activity, you will place the stages of succession of two ecosystems into sequence.  You will also describe changes in an ecosystem and make predictions about changes that will take place from one stage of succession to...

Document: Effects of a Closed Environment Lab Activity-1 Abstract: We must understand the interdependent relationships between photosynthesis and animal respiration before we can proceed in developing systems that will allow long term survival in space. Utilizing the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, students investigate living organisms in a closed environment.

Document: Heavy Metals Aquatic Envirnments Project Abstract: You might know that lead can be toxic, and that you can get lead poisoning from eating or inhaling old paint dust. Lead is called a heavy metal, and there are other sources of heavy metals that can be toxic, too. Silver, copper, mercury, nickel, cadmium, arsenic, and chromium are all heavy metals...

Document: Symbiosis GRASPS Abstract: For the student to demonstrate that they are able to identify the common forms of symbiosis – competition, mutualism, commensalism, predation, parasitism – and accurately describe each form (the roles of each organism plays, whether the organism is harmed or not, and describe the interaction).

Document: Biome Project Abstract: Students will demonstrate an understanding that the Earth is one interconnected system. 

Document: Solar Energy Lab Abstract: Here comes the sun!  In this experiment, we’ll try to harness the sun’s energy. Try to conduct the two parts of this experiment back-to-back, so that the sunlight will be of approximately equal intensity.

Document: Topsoil Tour Lab Abstract: Completing this worksheet, you should be able to answer the following questions: What is pH? What does the pH of a solution tell you about that solution? What are the nutrients that plants need to grow? How do plants use nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous?
