Dirty Penny Science Experiment for Presidents' Day
Your class will love this simple experiment. This outlines all of the steps of scientific investigation. The students have to come up with a question, make a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, show their results, and come up with a conclusion. Each step is clearly outlined and explained.
For my class, I just had to explain the process, give them a definition of a hypothesis (letting them know it's okay to be wrong!), and then explain why the salt and vinegar is the winner (sorry to give it awa

Lab - Exponential functions: Doubling times and growth rates
This is a lab that I have used for years to teach my students about exponential functions. It is quite large, and I usually assign it as a major project. If a student can work through the entire lab on his or her own, that student should have no problems with the unit test. I touch on applications from biology, economics, and chemistry; so that the subject doesn't seem like a dry mathematical topic.
