DEEP SEA AQUACULTURE: "The Future of Seafood" PART TWO
It is estimated there will be two billion more people on the planet by mid-century. To feed this booming world population, the demand for farmed fish will be greater than ever before. One way to increase fish production in a sustainable way is to move aquaculture operations offshore where there is plenty of available space and strong currents to flush out the pens to avoid polluting sensitive ecosystems. However, this is not as simple as it sounds. Creating new fish farming methodologies is

ISOMERS: Worksheets and Molecular Model Lab Activity (Focus on Stereoisomers)
Thalidomide was a medication that was designed to reduce the effect of morning sickness. Tragically no one could have guessed that a simple mirror twin molecule of thalidomide could cause some of the worst birth defects ever recorded. This lab activity is about ISOMERS but with a focus on a branch of isomers called stereoisomers. These isomers differ only in their spatial arrangement of atoms and were once thought to

Earth Science Lab - rock collections, properties of rocks, and the rock cycle
This short workbook is 10 pages about the rock cycle, properties of rocks, and observing rocks. You will have to have some basic understanding of rocks or a text to go with it, but this is a great resource to use as a team grade or exercise.
I like to offer it as an option for kids who don't want to do a leaf or bug collection. Many of the collections we do are in life science, and the demos/labs we do are often in physical science, so this is a fun earth science activity.
