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

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
