Lab: Paper Plate Periodic Table and m&m Atoms - Energy Levels and Electrons
Students study the structure of the atom with m&m's atoms on a paper plate periodic table! This lab investigation on edible "electrons" and elements explores the Essential Question: How are Elements Arranged in the Periodic Table? And, How Are Electrons Configured in an Atom?"Share with your students edible electrons; EX: m&m's, skittles, smarties, cereal, or mini-marshmallows. Ss will model atoms of elements using a paper plate and different sorts of sweets. At the end of the lab, when

Lemon Pharaoh Mummification and Lab Report
Like many modern people, the ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. In their religion, the afterlife was a place very similar to life on earth; as a result, they began to develop the process of embalming, or mummification, in order to preserve the dead. They wanted their dead, loved-one to look the same in the afterlife as he/she did on earth. This was important so that the ka, or the soul, could find the body in the afterlife. Mummification was a ritual enacted for over 3,000 years in
