Virtual Human Brain Dissection
This is a virtual dissection alternative that allows students to dissect a 3D human brain, record observations, answer analysis questions on the observations and label a sheep's brain with the synonymous human brain structures. The analysis questions are mixed formats between direct questions and critical thinking concluding questions. This activity can be completed completely online or printed out for in-person instruction. It is meant to serve as an alternative method to performing a dissectio

Trees, Forestry and Deforestation 5E Lab-Distance learning possible
Update for distance learning: Students could do this lab at home with a tree in their backyard, neighborhood, or park. They need a cheap measuring tape, a cardboard triangle, string and a weight. Through zoom or a video, teachers can help students through the math. Another option is for the teacher to make a video measuring a tree and the corresponding math. Students can do the follow-up questions on their own.This is a full 5E designed for inquiry. It is advanced enough for AP, but accessible f

Pig heart dissection guide
This is a comprehensive dissection guide of the pig heart, designed for a high school or early college Biology or Anatomy & Physiology class. Pig hearts are larger than the typically used sheep hearts, and better resemble the human heart structure.
The guide includes step-by-step instructions and labeled diagrams that will lead students through the external anatomy of the heart, followed by dissection of the internal structures.
In addition to description of structures, the relevant physio

Planisphere Lab Activity: A Star Wheel for Constellation Exploration
Inexpensive and ingenious! Planispheres are a unique tool for learning astronomy: a make-it-yourself star map, adjustable for any time of night in any month of the year. They are designed to show the position of prominent constellations in the night sky. It's a low-tech way for Ss to learn the location (and thus give meaning to key vocabulary terms) of the horizon, zenith, meridian, ecliptic and celestial equator on the celestial sphere. This lab includes two types of planispheres: one for stan

Owl Pellet Ecosystem Analysis- Trophic Pyramid and Energy Flow
Kids typically say that they "did" owl pellets in middle school, but they rarely can come up with any understanding or explanation as to what they were doing or why.
This ecosystem lab is good for an advanced biology or environmental science class and takes owl pellet dissection to the level it should be. Students will dissect owl pellets and identify prey, but use that data (and some basic research) to reconstruct a trophic level pyramid and calculate energy flow in an ecosystem.

Gum Experiment and The Mole Concept
This is a fun experiment after the introduction of the mole concept and the students just love it.The lab will measure the amount of sugar found in a sample of gum. This value is used to calculate the percentage of dissolved sugar, the moles and the number of molecules present in the sample using Avogadro's number. A comparison is made between sucrose gum and aspartame gum.
