Populations Lab: Design a Study to Estimate the Size of a Population - NGSS
This activity proceeds as follows:1. Students brainstorm about why it is important to estimate the population of organisms2. Students learn how to estimate population using the “sampling” technique3. Students learn how to estimate population using the “mark and recapture” technique4. Students design a study to estimate a real population, and carry out their study.5. Extension Activity: Students read an article about the overfishing of Bluefin tuna, which is down to 4% of the population that it w

MAKING CHALK! Lab Activity (% Yield - Physical and Chemical Change)
Make CHALK!
Here’s a simple and fun lab to do with your students that’s educationally jam-packed. Aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate, (can also use baking soda), and calcium chloride, (aka Ice Melt), and you get calcium carbonate, (basically chalk) and table salt. Students collect the insoluble chalk by filtration and the salt remains in solution. Dry the precipitation to calculate the percent yield, and if you have time, evaporating the water from the saline solution and voila, you have yo

Plastic Eating Invertebrates Lab - Great for environmental science and biology!
This is a brand-new lab that I am SO excited to introduce to my environmental science students! Recent studies have come out demonstrating that different types of bugs are able to eat plastic. This lab allows students to recreate these studies and/or test out new variables of their choice! This lab is great because it can be tailored to the needs of your students - it can EASILY be made more or less difficult! You must have access to some type of invertebrate for this lab: it is recommended to u

Watershed Delineation with Topographic Maps
In this activity, students will learn to delineate watersheds using topographic maps. The activity starts with students answering questions from the USDA article titled "How to Read a Topographic Map and Delineate a Watershed." They will then use their knowledge from these questions to delineate the Fulton Run watershed, located in Indiana, Pennsylvania. There are two topographic maps included in the product - one for more advanced learners and one for less advanced learners. The map for less ad

A Survey of a Forest Ecosystem - Science in the Environment Lab Series
A wildlife biologist may need to determine the carrying capacity of a forest ecosystem for selected species. A general description of the forest will not provide sufficient information to determine the amount of habitat available. The biologist must make a quantitative analysis of plants in the forest. This type of study can provide information regarding the biodiversity of the forest — the types of plants present, their population densities, and their importance.

AICE Marine Science Lab: Do Mangroves Really Cause Sedimentation - Chap 5
Our AICE Marine Science students must understand the role mangrove prop roots play in the world of sedimentation and erosion: Can mangroves really cause sedimentation? This is a fairly inexpensive lab that can be set up to put that hypothesis to the test. Here's how this lab could go: Teacher groups students into lab groups using your chosen method Teacher passes out student lab handout (see preview to view this) Teacher presents to the class the whole group review of the lab.

Ecology Owl Pellet Food Chain Food Web Research Inquiry Lab
This is one of my students' favorite labs! They enjoy working in partners to determine what kinds of animals owls eat - and then to apply that knowledge to draw conclusions. Students have found everything from an entire bird skull (intact) to a snake skeleton mixed in with all of the vole, shrew, rat and mice bones. I love the many different concepts I can tie into this lab and the many directions we can go to make connections. I hope you enjoy this lab as much as my students and I do!

The students examine the location and direction of major ocean currents on the Earth. Through guided exploration, the students realize that ocean currents are not random but controlled by global winds and the Coriolis Effect.The exercise involves coloring a map of ocean currents either red (warm currents) or blue (cool currents). They also superimpose global wind patterns on the map, and fill in a chart of whether the currents are on the east or west side of ocean basins and if they go towards o

Glacial Ice Thickness Changes Over Time.
The Students examine the relationship of glacial ice thickness over time for two valley glaciers. A graph with two line plots, one for each glacier, is constructed to show what happened to glacial ice thickness over a 25 year period. The students also define several vocabulary terms and answer 8 discussion questions. As the graphs clearly show a decrease in thickness over time, the students can deduce it is related to global warming.Customer Tips: How to get TPT credit to use on future purchases
