Students review the parts of the plant and recognize the parts that are important for pollination.  In this pollination lesson, students illustrate and label the parts of a flower.  Students compare different types of flowers.

Explore biology by researching adaptation. First, learners research and define a list of insect vocabulary terms and discuss the benefits of each insect characteristic. They then utilize a worksheet to create their own insect and share...

Young scholars record their observations when they examine bugs and beetles. Using the internet, they research the function of each of the parts of certain insects and identify the location of their organs. To end the lesson, they draw a...

Sometimes the best way to drive home a concept is through an art project. Here is a quick and easy activity that can help learners remember or become more familiar with the parts on an insect's body. They tear brightly colored paper into...

Budding artists explore the shapes and parts that make insects so fascinating to study, then use what they see to create original insect inspired designs. They use wax, dye, and fabric to create their designs.

Students construct an insect model. In this "insects" science and art instructional activity, students complete a KWL chart about 'insects," then view several interactive websites to become familiar with insect traits. Students construct...

Students create imaginary insects that contain essential characteristics of an insect, such as six legs and three body parts. In this Science/Arts lesson, students distinguish between an insect and non-insect.  Students create their...

Students explore symmetry in the insect world, comparing and contrasting insects and their symmetrical bodies and wings. They draw symmetrical insects, identifying body parts and explore nature's examples of symmetry. Afterward, they...

Students construct imaginary insects. In this insect lesson plan, students will discover the anatomy of their favorite insect and apply it to their own creation. Student will write a description of their model, and put the insect models...

Investigate the parts of a healthy stream to build content-specific vocabulary and ecological awareness. The class builds vocabulary and determines why clean water is important for trout. They design a shoe box to show what a clean...

Students examine anatomic structures in order to identify insects from other living organisms. They gain a level of comfort from anxiety when observing and handling live and pinned insects. They create clay models of an insect.

In this insect anatomy worksheet, learners utilize a word bank to label the six parts of an insect: abdomen, antennae, head, legs, thorax and wings.

Students explore biology by participating in an insect identification activity. In this grasshopper lesson, students discuss the types of insects who jump high and identify their anatomical parts. Students collect a group of "hopper"...

In insect worksheet, students read the facts about insects. Students then use the insects and create their own insect including all the body parts listed.

Students recognize that for a trout habitat to be ideal, several components must be present.  In this trout lesson plan, students explore what makes a healthy stream.  Students create paintings for a mural of a trout habitat....

Middle schoolers use pieces of farm pictures to investigate the elements of art.  For this farm art lesson, students use pieces of pictures to create an original artwork. Middle schoolers use the Internet to find images. ...

Students study the basic parts of flowering plants. They explore flower characteristics that attract various bird and insect pollinators. Afterward, they represent real or imaginary flowers and pollinators based on their knowledge of...

Students gather pictures of animals, fish, birds, and insects, and sort them by category: land, sea, and air creatures. They choose two of these categories and imaginatively combine part of animals (such as horns, tentacles, fins, floppy...

Students construct a paper honey bee to learn the six major parts of a bee and other insects. They compare their own body parts to those of bees. They utilize activity sheets that are imbedded in this plan.

Students explore the life cycle of the butterfly and the process of metamorphosis through the creation of painted life cycle habitat. They place each part of the cycle in the correct location through the use of a visual diagram.

To celebrate art youth month, little ones get out the magnifying glasses and get close-up with bugs. They make scientific observations of bugs you bring into the classroom. Then, they use markers, clay, paint, or crayons to make artistic...

Students become entomologists for a day. In this life science instructional activity, students go on an insect hunt and investigate insects and their homes. This leads to the creation of an insect by each student. Lesson includes a...

Young scholars review the classification system for living organisms and apply it the classification of insects and flowers in the still life by Ambrosius Bosschaert. They create a chart classifying the animals and plants in the painting...

Students explore animal characteristics by participating in an environment identification activity. For this animal habitat lesson, students discuss a range of different wild life and the ecosystems that they are a part of. Students view...
