Ecosystem in a Bottle Project: An Inquiry-Based Ecological Investigation
In this inquiry-based lab investigation, students will create an ecosystem simulation using 2-Liter bottles to explore the cycling of the essential elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen through biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem. Students will need a minimum of two 2-Liter bottles for this project – one to represent an aquatic ecosystem and one to represent a terrestrial ecosystem. Students will work with a partner to design a way to connect these two bottle ecosystems so th

Ecology Lab Estimating Population Size
Population biologists have developed several methods for sampling a population. In this lab, the student will use the sampling technique known as the "mark and recapture method" to estimate the size of a population of wild beans! Students will compare their estimation of the population size obtained from lab data to the actual population size and calculate their percent error.This lab is very easy to set up and very easy to clean up. No fancy materials are required, and yet, I find this to be

Antibiotic Resistance Lab: Simulate the Evolution of a Superbug - NGSS
In brief, students begin by answering an intriguing “bell ringer” (Powerpoint Slide included). Then, they simulate the use of an antibiotic on bacteria. The bacteria then mutates, requiring them to try an different antibiotic the following round. Finally, the two strains perform conjugations, and students try both antibiotics on the new strain, to no avail. They discover that a superbug has evolved. Students take data, graph the data, and analyze the data by answering post-lab questions. A.
