El Nino Assignment | Environmental and Marine Worksheet
This graphing assignment comes in two versions, digital and printable. The printable is 3 pages and includes reading, data collection, and graphing. Three colored maps (El Nino, La Nina, and normal conditions) are provided. If you are unable to print them in color for the class, there is a digital version you could project or provide to students. Students begin with a quick reading review of what causes El Nino (very basic). Students analyze colored maps of El NIno, La Nina, and normal condition

Living Environment Learning Targets - Standards Based Grading - NYS
New to Standards Based Grading? Designing Learning Targets? Live in NYS?
This is set of Learning Targets aligned to NYS Living Environment Standards, but would apply to any Biology class. The targets are categorized into power targets (the ones you grade) and sub targets (more specific targets clumped together to make power targets). All targets are written in student friendly language
Standards Based Grading may mean a lot of extra grading and analysis- so you don't want to wade through dozen

Microplastics Lab (Microscopic Analysis, Chemical Isolation, Food)
This is one of my favorite labs to do with my Environmental Science kids! It has 3 parts: Microscopic analysis of beach sand (you can substitute with any substrate you think might have microplastics!), microscopic analysis of everyday objects (I have my students look at food/snacks that they bring in, and do a dissection of clams/mussels from the grocery store), and chemical isolation/digestion of microplastic-containing samples of muck (we get ours from a pond and a beach). For the chemical dig

Modeling Population Growth (Ideal vs. Logistic Model)
This activity provides instructions to construct a mathematical model on a blank spreadsheet that simulates population growth using an ideal model and a logistic model. The activity provides background discussion and then gives instructions on how to program a spreadsheet to produce and display the ideal and logistic population models. Their results are studied for various cases including human population, rabbits, polar bears, bacterial and yeast colonies.
