Chemistry Cooking Video Cumulative STEM Project for Middle School High School
This chemistry cooking video project is a fan favorite in my classroom. I use this as a cumulative assessment at the end of my chemistry unit. Students will find a recipe for any meal/baked good they desire and will create a recipe procedure for that meal/baked good using 20+ chemistry terms. Then, students will create a "how to" cooking video using the typed recipe procedure as their "script". I usually encourage students to try making a dinner for their family! Parents love this!

Skittle Radiometric Decay Half-life Lab
Did you know you can use Skittles candy to demonstrate absolute dating and radiometric decay! Buy a 1-4 lb bag at your local bulk warehouse store for savings. This lab is a great way to show how isotopes decay by shaking a plate full of random skittles. Students use Skittles to observe "Isotopes" decay over each half life. At the end of the lab (and only IF they have done all their work) they can enjoy their "daughter products". Skittles were used because they are durable, hypoallergenic, and th

Scientific Method Experimental Design Activity Learn How to Design a Fair Test
This scientific method lab activity is designed to reinforce the importance of keeping ONE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE in an experiment. The goal is for students to begin to think critically about experimental design and to grasp the importance of holding all conditions constant except the one variable being tested. Students are directed to identify variables and constants, make predictions, summarize results, and analyze experimental design for a very simple "drops on a penny" lab. There are three p

Circulatory System & Blood Typing Lab (no blood required!)
If you are teaching your students about the circulatory system, this is a great unit for you!This blood type lab is safe to use in all schools, because it uses colored water instead of blood. This way you do not have to deal with blood and lances like traditional medical lessons. You can easily make plenty of colored water to test, and the setup is easy to do. I recommend you have a beach towel ready to clean up any spills. Make sure students wipe down their desk after the lab. This also includ

Walking Dead Water Filter Lab
With shows like "The Walking Dead" and others, students are interested in how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. One thing they will need is an improvised water filter to clean dirty water. This type of water filter was seen in a episode of "The Walking Dead". It's also featured in survival shows. You will need plastic water bottles, sand, gravel, coffee filters, marbles, and any other medium you think can be used to filter water. I do NOT recommend using charcoal or ash, because when wet they ar
