Gas Laws Intro Lab 16 stations or chemistry demos
Thess ultimate Gas Laws 16 Lab Stations allows students to investigate direct and inverse properties of gases: pressure, volume, moles, and temperature. The guided student handout is editable and these gas laws lab activities incorporate particulate-level movement of gases (bead stations) as well as intentional questioning that leads students to link inverse or direct relationships of gas behaviors in an engaging, memorable way. Give your students experiences of how gases impact and are impacted

Earth Layers Model: Decoding Compositional and Mechanical/Structural layers
Students will complete a colored model of earths layers that will clarify the main differences of compositional and mechanical layers both visually as well as conceptually. They will also be able to identify trends of temperature, gravity, pressure, and density. This is a great activity that will allow students to better comprehend the dynamics of plate tectonics. This could also serve as a earth science practical type of assessment.

Law of Superposition - Geologic Dating Activity
This activity can be used help students gain a better understanding of Relative Age. It can be used as an informal assessment, or even as an interactive notebooking activity. Students will read the story from the "Geologist's Journal" on page 1. Then, they will cut out the pictures and rock layers on page 2. They will color these, and then glue them in the correct location on the outline provided on page 3. I suggest starting with the layer that is the oldest.

Astronomy/Earth Science Lab Series - Using Star Charts to find Constellations
New from No More Boring Science - How to use star charts! The focus of this lab is to help students gain confidence using star charts to find constellations. There are two activities in this lab: using a polar star chart map to find constellations on a blank section of the sky, and then translating constellations from a polar projection map to a mercator projection map. The first activity is more advanced than the second, but all maps and charts are included. Keys are included as well!

Weather Map Construction: Isotherms, Isobars, High and Low Pressure.
In this lab, students plot several weather maps based on data in the USA. These are an isotherm map, isobar map, and a map showing wind direction, precipitation areas, and weather fronts. I used to have them combine all these maps to create a synoptic weather map, but that got to be a bit too much and a little messy. You sure can take one of the blank maps in this lab and have them do that if you wish!!There are many vocabulary terms to define along with gradient questions and questions about th

Locating the Epicenter of an Earthquake
The epicenter of an earthquake can be found using the difference between the arrival of the Primary and Secondary waves. Using this resource students find the arrival times of P-waves and S-waves using a seismogram. The distance to the earthquake epicenter is then determined using the "Earthquake P-Wave and S-Wave Travel Time" graph. A circle is drawn for each city and students locate where the epicenter is by seeing where the circles converge.Three different earthquake locations are included
