Animal adaptation: This lesson focuses on the adaptations, body structures, and behavior of animals. The students will explore animal growth and adaptations of animals. This lesson is designed to be taught during the reading of Stone Fox.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 English Language Arts, English Language Development, and Science); By Jennifer Fessler and Karen Wright.

Animal environments: Day 2: Students will group animals using common characteristics. Students will develop an understanding of animal adaptations. This lesson is one in a series of lessons: Understanding Animal Adaptation: Day 1; Animal Environments: Day 2; Diamante Poetry Using Environments: Day 3. This is lesson two.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Science); By Cheri Cole.

Animal report: After studying the various animal groups, students write a report about an animal of their choosing using well-formed paragraphs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Information Skills, English Language Arts, and Science); By Kay Sims.

Animal slide shows!: This project is a culmination of a science unit on animals which integrates computer skills, language arts and art. After a study of animals which includes classification, basic needs of animals, animal adaptations, and animal behaviors, the students will use the computer to complete a slide show of one animal they have studied at length.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Computer Technology Skills and Science); By Margie Bartolomucci.

Archaeobotany: Students will use pictures of seeds, an activity sheet, and a graph to identify seven seeds and the conditions in which they grow. They will also infer ancient plant use by interpreting archaeobotanical samples and determine changing plant use by Native North Carolinians by interpreting a graph of seed frequency over time.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4–5 and 8 Social Studies and Science)

Habitat photo album: Students will use digital cameras and explore the outdoors searching ecosystems for opportunities to take pictures of different habitats and the components that go into them.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4–5 Computer Technology Skills and Science); By Colleen Buchauer and Lesley Brooks.

Inquiry using digital images: This lesson begins a unit of study to create the atmosphere of questioning and knowledge grounding. Digital images are given to students. Students investigate the images for information.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Science); By Darlene Ryan1.

Operation beach teach: This lesson is the introduction to an integrated marine science unit which culminates in an early fall trip to Hammocks Beach State Park. (See attachment: Pre-Activity). The unit is designed to hook students into science and provide joyful learning experiences across the curriculum.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 English Language Arts, Visual Arts Education, Social Studies, and Science); By Math Science Education Network.
