In this lesson the students will determine that for an object to be a living thing it must grow and reproduce and it must have its basic needs met.

Students will determine that for an object to be a living thing it must grow and reproduce, and it must have its basic needs met.

Students will determine that for an object to be a living thing it must grow and reproduce, and it must have its basic needs met.

Students will explore the garden environment for examples of organisms having their needs met and will be given an event that might cause that organism to thrive, move or perish.

In this lesson students will use knowledge of the needs of living things to examine their outdoor classroom for these factors that help plants grow.

STUDENT ACTIVITY -- 3rd -- NCThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will pull weeds to explore plant structures that promote survival. This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities. .

Students will use knowledge of life cycles to collect evidence of the stages of life a plant goes through.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 2nd Grade: This is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home.Students will conduct a simple experiment to see if plants need sunlight and water to grow.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

Students conduct an experiment to determine whether or not the sense of smell is important to being able to recognize foods by taste. They do this by attempting to identify several different foods that have similar textures. For some of the attempts, students hold their noses and close their eyes, while for others they only close their eyes. After they have conducted the experiment, they create bar graphs showing the number of correct and incorrect identifications for the two different experimental conditions tested.

Students are introduced to an engineering challenge in which they are given a job assignment to separate three types of apples. However, they are unable to see the color differences between the apples, and as a result, they must think as engineers to design devices that can be used to help them distinguish the apples from one another. Solving the challenge depends on an understanding of wave properties and the biology of sight. After being introduced to the challenge, students form ideas and brainstorm about what background knowledge is required to solve the challenge. A class discussion produces student ideas that can be grouped into broad subject categories: waves and wave properties, light and the electromagnetic spectrum, and the structure of the eye.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - 3rd - GA/TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home. Students will explore the outdoors for examples of different plant structures and determine how plants use these structures to meet their needs.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

oerc-1844 Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.
