Lab #1: Observations vs. Inferences
Lab #1 of my Lab Series.In this lab students practice using their 5 senses (except for taste) to make a series of observations of a brown paper bag (the mystery bag). The goal is for students to use their observations to make an inference as to what is inside of the mystery bag and then relate their experience to the work scientists do. I have used this activity with great success to start off the school year. This lab is applicable to any type of science course, not just Earth Science. This lab

Crime Solving Insects - Using Entomology in Forensics
Observing and recording the insects found on a corpse at a crime scene can be crucial evidence that can determine the time of death. The ordered development of flies on a dead animal is predictable. Because of that, the
flies can be used to help determine the time of death or other factors that may have legal
implications. This lab has 4 different "crime scenes" involving animals. Students will identify "insects" found at the scene, and gather other clues to determine the time of death and if

AP Lab Review #9 (Practice with Genetic Problems, Chi-squared, and Gene Linkage)
I've decided to offer AP Lab Review #9 as a FREE resource to teachers since Genetics of Drosophila was part of the old AP Biology Lab Manual (prior to 2013). Since then, my students have continued working with fruit flies. I feel that it provides a great platform for practicing Punnett Squares, analyzing real genetic data and converting it to ratios, using Chi-squared to further analyze data, and also using data to determine Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns (i.e. gene linkage).
