The Edible Layers of the Earth Lab
This is easy and pretty much all you need is to buy is a bag of m&m's!
My students loved this and made great connections between the actual layers of the Earth and how it correlates with m&m's. There is also an answer key included. Very easy to follow directions.

Nature of Science Observations and Inferring Inferences - 6 Stations Centers
This file is a 23 page document composed of 6 difference Science centers/stations. These stations focus on making observations, inferring based on observations, and recording observations in charts/tables. There are two pages, for teacher reference, explaining the stations, as well as the Florida Benchmark (K-5) associated with each station. Each station has a one page of student friendly directions, one page of 2-3 questions, and one page of answers for the teacher. Some stations also include a

Lactase Enzyme Lab
This lab demonstrates both the specificity and denaturation of the lactase enzyme. This is a true kitchen-chemistry lab- the only required materials are skim milk, lactase tablets (from the pharmacy aisle), and glucose test strips. The lab is fully editable. To simplify the lab or to shorten it for just one class period, I suggest removing "Part 2". A pre-lab worksheet, teacher preparation notes, expected results, and possible modification/extension are included.

Convex and Concave Lenses Activity
The lab activity requires the use of concave and convex lenses. I use simple small ones that are cheap and easy to buy. In addition, you need to have a small object (penny, pair of dice, etc) and a large object (cabinet, door, tv, etc) for students to examine. They will stay at their desks and use the concave and convex lenses to look at each item (once holding the lens close and once holding it at arm's length). Students will write their observations on the chart provided. Then, students will a

CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) Introduction - Fortune Telling Fish Activity
This is a great Back to School activity which encourages experimental design and critical thinking. Students place plastic 'fortune telling fish' in their hands and make observations. 'Fish' can be purchased at Flinn Scientific or Amazon. Also visit Flinn Scientific (Fortune Teller Fish) for a detailed explanation of the science. These fish are hygroscopic polymers which change shape (ex: curl tail, flip over) based on moisture. First, students record observations. Second, students design

AP Biology Lab 4: Water Potential Practice Using Sample Data
This is an activity I have used for years in my classroom that has proven to be extremely effective in helping students understand how to calculate water potential in various situations. It will also help students predict direction of water flow based on water potential values. In this activity, students will graph sample data pertaining to percent change in mass for both a potato and zucchini. Using the graph, students will then determine water potential for the plants. In addition, there are

Urinalysis Lab
In this "hands-on" lab, students are given "samples" of fake urine to test and then determine which urine belongs to which patient. It's a fun way to formatively assess student knowledge of urine formation and how diseases affect the nephron. You can order fake urine from Carolina Biological Supply, but I make my own urine. The recipe for each "urine" sample is also included in the lab! You will need to order the following though: ph strips, glucose and protein strips, specimen cups (optional).

Feeding Yeast (Fungi) Lab Life Science
A complete lab activity from start to finish
Background -- In this experiment students will be using baker’s yeast. In order to make bread soft and fluffy, bakers add yeast to the mix of bread ingredients. When the yeast is mixed in, they begin to eat and release a gas (carbon dioxide) as a waste product. Releasing the gas causes little bubbles in the dough that causes the bread to rise. This is why there are holes in your bread.
Students use yeast in different water solutions (ie:flour water,
