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

Coriolis Effect Balloon Lab
The Coriolis Effect is a very challenging scientific concept to understand, and it is hard for kids to wrap their brains around it when it's so far removed from their classroom and lives. This hands-on lab activity allows students to model the Coriolis Effect - feel and see it happen right before their eyes. Students use balloons as the Earth and draw the winds as the balloon earths spin on their axis. They can see the Coriolis Effect happen and see the directions that the winds blow on both the

What is a watershed? Hands on activity
I took this actual activity from 3 different sources. One was set for a demonstration, two were set for kids to do - one had one step and one had 2 steps.
To extend what was there, I took what was just the activity and changed into a hands on with questions and a map added to it and put it in student friendly written instructions instead of verbal instructions.
I am using this in an environmental science class that has freshmen to seniors. It is a very simple and cheap activity that really i

Population Genetics: Allele Frequency and Natural Selection
This activity asks students to explore what happens to allele frequency in a population of goldfish when environmental pressures (the introduction of a predatory octopus!) are placed on them. Students will be asked to make predictions, interpret data and allele frequencies, create a graph of the allele distribution, and (most importantly) eat goldfish. I have uploaded this in a .docx format so you can modify and differentiate for your classroom and students' needs. I recommend going through t

Fossil Fuel Cookie Lab
Your teacher will provide you with a cookie. This cookie represents a land area that may contain deposits of coal (represented by raisins), oil (represented by pieces of nuts), or natural gas (represented by chocolate pieces). You will also be provided with a toothpick, which represents the mining and drilling equipment used in obtaining the coal, oil, and natural gas.

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.

This is a great virtual lab for teaching students about weathering and erosion, but not having to deal with the mess of sand trays and water all over the classroom. It is also great to use as a make-up lab if a student misses a hands on weathering and erosion lab.
Students watch a video on the weathering and erosion experiment, and complete the questions on the lab sheet.

Students will create the water cycle in a bag in groups. Worksheet is broken up into step by steps so that each child can participate in the project. After the students create the water cycle in bag, there are some questions for them to answer such as what do they think will happen to the water in the bag and what happened to the water in the bag after a few hours. Also I will be listing a PowerPoint with visuals for a step by step of what the students will need to do!
