Tombstone Pictures for Cemetery Lab. Human Population Studies
This google drive contains a curated collection of original pictures of 400+ grave markers including some famous people in history, movies and music. I developed this collection over several months of travel. Students will discover historically accurate trends from this data about survivorship for people born before 1900 and after 1900. I have carefully created the collection to provide interest for students and also good data for students to discover trends through inquiry. Use these pictures w

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

Photosynthesis Lab
In this lab students will observe photosynthesis in action! Using disks of spinach leaves (created with a hole punch) students will provide carbon and light for the leaves and watch for the production of oxygen. A fun, hands on lab, appropriate for students of many grade levels!
After completing the class lab, students will then design their own experiment to test another variable for the effects on the rate of photosynthesis.

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.
