Calculating Height Forensic Anthropology Worksheet or Lab
Great addition to your Forensic Anthropology Unit. Students either use given measurements or measure in-class models if you have them of the human arm and leg bones to calculate the height of the person that once used those bones. Calculation chart give students a formula for calculating the height in centimeters -- then walks them through converting that height to inches and feet and inches. Successfully used with 7th & 8th graders in my CSI exploratory course. Answer key included for th

Hominid Skull Analysis
A fantastic lab for evolution! To me, evolution is a difficult unit for students to have real lab experiences. You can study natural selection through several investigations, but few allow us to take evidence on patterns found in the past. This investigation challenges students to evaluate 6 hominid skills through anatomy observation and measurement using a simple ruler allowing patterns in evolution to emerge. The answer key is provided and follow-up questions ask students to outline next steps

Radiometric Dating
How do scientists determine the absolute age of a fossil? What is radiometric dating and how can we use isotopes to determine the age of something that may have lived and died before recorded history?This detailed lab activity explores the science behind radiometric dating and easily and clearly provides students the opportunity to model the phenomena and practical applications of this knowledge.Students will research, collect data, model, and report their findings.All MeiOlogy labs include CER

T. rex Autopsy Worksheet for National Geographic Video
T. Rex Autopsy is a 2015 documentary airing on the National Geographic channel where a team of four paleontologists dissect a silicon replica of Tyrannosaurus. The four paleontologists were Tori Herridge, Stephen Brusatte, Matthew T. Mossbrucker and Luke Gamble, who is the lead anatomist. The T. rex was based on the most complete fossil, "Sue."This once-in-a-lifetime experiment offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore questions such as whether or not T. rex had feathers; how it fed with

Anthropology - garbology!
This engaging hand-on activity is designed help your students understand the archaeology of contemporary trash (garbology!) through an exploration of their own trash. Anthropology - garbology! works well as homework, a distance-learning activity or an in-class activity. Your students read about three fascinating garbology projects, sort, organize and analyze their own trash, and then write a report of their research, just as an archaeologist would. This package comes ready to use. It contains ev

Evidence for Evolution, Comparative Anatomy
There are many misconceptions that students are bombarded with throughout their lives concerning evolution. I’ve designed this lesson to deal with some of the basic concepts in evidence supporting the Theory of Evolution. Concepts include:- Homologous Structures (Homologies)- Vestigial Structures - Analogous Structures as a misconceptionThe lesson uses Dr. Neil Shubin's discovery of Tiktaalik as a setting for examining close common ancestors and their homologies.This lesson is intended for a

Graveyard Geology - An study in weathering & petrology
This outdoor investigation is designed for high school earth science students at the end of the rocks and minerals unit. Students will identify the rocks making up headstones in a local cemetery and apply their knowledge of weathering to determine which type of rock makes the best headstone. This lab helps students to work independently or in small groups outside the classroom setting. Students learn to apply their knowledge of rock ID (petrology) and weathering in a practical setting/situatio

Hominid Evolution: Exploring Physiology and Dispersion of Humans Through Time
This lesson is focuses on the topic of Human evolution. Most states now require evolution of the hominids as part of the biology curriculum. Engaging and interesting lessons on this topic are difficult to find. I have put together a multi-day lesson plan that meets the standard criteria for this topic. This lesson pack includes all instructions and associated worksheets. The lesson examines the two main hypotheses for human origins, the Out of Africa Hypothesis and the Multiregional Hypothe

Cemetery Lab
This is a lab that analyzes tombstones to compare how demographics have changed by comparing those who died in the first half of the 20th Century with those who died in the last half of the 20th Century. Ideally, this should be done in a cemetery (get permission first!). For rainy days, I am selling tombstone pictures so that this lab can be done in the auditorium or the classroom. This is a good lab for A.P. Environmental Science.

Cenozoic and Mesozoic Geologic Time-line data sheet
This is just the data and measurements needed to create a Geologic Time-line of the Cenozoic and Mesozoic Eras hands on lab activity using a cash register tape. This helps students visualize and experience the great period of time and events that have occurred in earth's long history. Even though this only covers the 2 most recent eras it demonstrates how closely spaced the recent events of history are when compared to the larger geologic eras.
