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

Elenco Snap Circuit Semester Series
One year I was given the challenge of using snap circuits to teach science. This was designed for home school students that attend a weekly options support program. This expands upon the instructions in the original kit, and also provides web quest through PhEt that expand upon ideas not covered. This lab is aligned to the master book that comes with the kits. This matches the current SC-500R kit offered by Elenco, however I was using an older kit version. Some project numbers may not match. Ple
