Water Conservation Lab: Design & Carry Out a Study - NGSS: Distance Learning
In this activity NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) aligned activity, students (Part 1:) design and carry out a study to calculate how much water will be saved if they turn the water off while brushing their teeth, and (Part 2:) design and carry out a loner-term study at home to calculate how much water can be conserved. The lesson proceeds as follows: 1. First, students watch a short video on water conservation, and the growing water shortage crisis worldwide. They answer a few questio

Food Web: Weaving a Web
Students become a part of a FOOD WEB in this simulation using a series of FOOD CHAINS. Students work together as a whole class and build a FOOD WEB using rope/string. Once the web is built, students can easily see the interconnected nature of life. Teacher prompts to kill off certain organisms, having students drop their string and all attachments lead to deeper understanding of environmental impacts. Students then take that knowledge and draw the FOOD WEB on their worksheets using the FOOD CHAI

Accident Investigation Lab for Trig Students
A lab exercise in which students complete a simulation of investigating a vehicle accident by measuring the length of skid marks and calculating the speed of the braking vehicle. Students will measure the length using the number of revolutions and diameter of a rolling rotary device (such as sewing tracing wheel or pizza cutter.) This lab is designed for groups of 2 - 4 students and contains 5 different scenarios of the accident so different groups can analyze different situations. These mat
