Students conduct a lab simulating the process of mass movement and investigate the velocity of materials moving down a slope.
Students determine if the amount of sugar affects the rate of respiration.
Students will taste a piece of PTC paper to see if they are dominant or recessive for the trait. They will then use this information to predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their parents.
Students will use a peanut M&M to relate the thickness of the layers of the candy to the layers of the Earth. By applying pressure to the candy, students can observe the type of plate boundaries that are found on Earth.
This worksheet provides practice in writing mole rations, given chemical equations.
Students practice writing various types of chemical equations.
Students will consider an imaginary scenario in which changes in an environment may impact the survival of a population of Easter bunnies.
This worksheet assesses student understanding of nuclear chemistry concepts and provides practice in writing nuclear equations.
Students place eggs that have been soaked in vinegar in various solutions in order to make observations about osmosis.
Students investigate a simple cobalt chloride equilibrium shift.
Students will devise a model of the layers of the Earth to scale using cash register tape.
Students construct a compound diagram that is useful in describing polarity.
Students will use Punnett Squares to determine the genotypes, phenotypes, and percentages of parents and children with certain traits. Students will learn about 2 genetic disorders and determine which parents are more likely to have a child with the disease.
Students investigate how temperature and surface area affect the rate of chemical weathering.
This 10-minute readers' theater play traces water in its never-ending cycle. Students read the script as they perform the play. Neither props nor scenery is necessary. There are 19 characters, but in a small class, students can easily play more than one part. The students could even write their own water cycle adventure.
Students interpret hurricane data (station model data, isobars, wind direction) to find the relationship between pressure gradients and wind speed.
Students infer the age of earth materials by ordering rock layers according to relative dating and Law of Superposition and principles of cross-cutting and intrusion.
Students imagine that they are Alfred Wegener and must defend the theory of plate tectonics.
Students model the process of radioactive decay.
In this activity, students will create a poster to demonstrate the unique reproductive strategy of an assigned organism.
