Trees, Forestry and Deforestation 5E Lab-Distance learning possible
Update for distance learning: Students could do this lab at home with a tree in their backyard, neighborhood, or park. They need a cheap measuring tape, a cardboard triangle, string and a weight. Through zoom or a video, teachers can help students through the math. Another option is for the teacher to make a video measuring a tree and the corresponding math. Students can do the follow-up questions on their own.This is a full 5E designed for inquiry. It is advanced enough for AP, but accessible f

Planisphere Lab Activity: A Star Wheel for Constellation Exploration
Inexpensive and ingenious! Planispheres are a unique tool for learning astronomy: a make-it-yourself star map, adjustable for any time of night in any month of the year. They are designed to show the position of prominent constellations in the night sky. It's a low-tech way for Ss to learn the location (and thus give meaning to key vocabulary terms) of the horizon, zenith, meridian, ecliptic and celestial equator on the celestial sphere. This lab includes two types of planispheres: one for stan

Coriolis Effect/Ocean Currents Webquest for Online/Remote/Distance Learning
Need a resource your kids can do online? This webquest is designed to allow students to teach themselves about the Coriolis Effect, El Nino, and the causes of ocean currents and their effect on Earth's climate. These websites do an excellent job of walking students through these concepts. The Coriolis Effect can be particularly confusing, but the website's use of animations, images, and simple, straightforward laguage has consistently helped my students to understand these difficult concepts.
