Forensic Science - Foot to Height Calculations Muddy Prints
"Apparently, yesterday after school, someone was in our class looking for something. This person did not have permission, but I’m pretty sure they were looking for my secret stash of Mr. Goodbars. The only people who might have a key are other teachers, principals, and custodians. They were not very smart because they left muddy shoeprints. You will be using the shoeprint and our faculty footprint database to determine the most likely suspects."NOTE: I used this lesson with 7th and 8th graders b

Take Advantage of the Snow!
Snowy Science will allow your students to enjoy the snow while learning valuable science and science practices. This is not your typical snow craft! Students will engage in a series of snow experiments such as:
Why is there less snow around tree trunks (Energy Transfer)
Does Dirty Snow change differently than clean snow? (Energy Transfer)
Should Snowmen wear coats?
Should you wear a big coat or many layers?
Albedo Effect of Snow
How Much Water is in that Snow?

Forensic Science - Case of the Bullets and Chickens (Firearm Analysis)
Crime Scenario:“Out in the country, it is not uncommon to hear gunfire and ‘tings’ from kids shooting at targets. But today, the gunfire seemed quite close, so close that it wasn’t ‘tings’ that Mr. Walker heard but ‘whomps’ that were hitting his chicken coop! Feathers were flying and the chickens were scattering like crazy. Once Mr. Walker corralled all the chickens and they calmed down, he called the police to file a complaint even though no chickens were harmed. The police collected 8 bullets

Lab: Testing the Activity Series
This is a multiple concepts lab that has a lot of 'wow' factor for students as metals disappear and new ones appear. It is in miniscale so you that don't use that much of your chemicals. For 250 students, I generally use up: 20 g Fe, three 12"x12" sheets of Al foil, 12" of Mg ribbon, 20g Zn powder, and 200 ml of 1M CuSO4 solution. Equipment: large test tubes, 0.001 accuracy balance, long glass thermometer, small beaker, graduated cylinder, timer (or let them use cell phones)

Bacterial and Viral Replication Lab
This lab requires you to have raw beans (any kind to model bacteria) and whiteboards for students to draw a family tree and write out generation numbers next to each bacterial generation. (You could also do this on paper.)This lab is a great way for students to simulate bacterial and viral reproduction. For the bacteria, students will model the number of bacteria in each generation starting with only one bacterium (represented by a bean). With each generation, students will watch as the family t

Crime Scenario:“Mrs. Maxey’s room is a great room to have a faculty meeting because it is a lab with tables instead of student desks, it’s centrally located in the building, and it’s right across the hall from the main office. Mr. Stewart asked Mrs. Maxey if he could use her room to have a short meeting after school with the Social Studies and English teachers. She said yes because she would be outside for after school bus duty. When Mrs. Maxey returned to her room after bus duty, she was straig
