In this lesson, using video segments from the NATURE episode “A Murder of Crows,” students will explore different aspects of animal intelligence, with a focus on crows. Students will also examine the process of scientific investigation, and how conducting experiments contributes to knowledge and an understanding of animal intelligence.

There are important reasons why certain "ugly" animals look the way they do. Their features help them survive in the great outdoors. In this lesson students will explore their reactions to these less than lovely creatures.

This video-enhanced lesson uses segments from the NATURE program "Ravens" to explore what scientists can determine about animal intelligence. (Grades 9-12)

In this video-enhanced lesson, students will explore the concepts of adaptation and evolution as seen in different species of birds. (Grades 9-12)

This video-enhanced lesson discusses the processes of weathering and erosion and how they work together to shape the earth's landscape. (Grades 9-12)

This video-enhanced lesson uses the eagle to model universal avian life stages. (Grades 2-3)

This video-enhanced lesson will challenge students to design and conduct scientifically valid experiments to evaluate hypotheses regarding an animal’s expected behavior in response to changes in its environment. (Grades 9-12)

In this lesson, students will conduct a survey, learn about the history and treatment of wild horses in the United States, create a mock news broadcast, research wildlife photography, learn about horse behavior, and more.

In this lesson, students use a problem-based approach to explore the possibility that the qualities of different horse breeds could be incorporated to create the "perfect horse."
