Skittle Radiometric Decay Half-life Lab
Did you know you can use Skittles candy to demonstrate absolute dating and radiometric decay! Buy a 1-4 lb bag at your local bulk warehouse store for savings. This lab is a great way to show how isotopes decay by shaking a plate full of random skittles. Students use Skittles to observe "Isotopes" decay over each half life. At the end of the lab (and only IF they have done all their work) they can enjoy their "daughter products". Skittles were used because they are durable, hypoallergenic, and th

Circulatory System & Blood Typing Lab (no blood required!)
If you are teaching your students about the circulatory system, this is a great unit for you!This blood type lab is safe to use in all schools, because it uses colored water instead of blood. This way you do not have to deal with blood and lances like traditional medical lessons. You can easily make plenty of colored water to test, and the setup is easy to do. I recommend you have a beach towel ready to clean up any spills. Make sure students wipe down their desk after the lab. This also includ

Walking Dead Water Filter Lab
With shows like "The Walking Dead" and others, students are interested in how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. One thing they will need is an improvised water filter to clean dirty water. This type of water filter was seen in a episode of "The Walking Dead". It's also featured in survival shows. You will need plastic water bottles, sand, gravel, coffee filters, marbles, and any other medium you think can be used to filter water. I do NOT recommend using charcoal or ash, because when wet they ar

Balancing Chemical Equations Manipulative Lab
If you are starting your students on chemistry, this is a great activity to teach balancing equations. It shows how matter is conserved, and is balanced on both sides of the equation. This can be done with poker chips, math manipulative, or other tools you have in house. I used some squares of construction paper for this. This lab demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass. The amount of atoms (math tiles or construction paper) that you start with equals the amount that you end with. You can a
