Self - inflating glove lab for law of Conservation of Mass
This lab is a great way to introduce the basics of chemistry! With this you can show signs of a chemical change, endothermic reactions, and the law of the conservation of mass. The reaction is contained inside a nitryl glove, which keeps the mess contained while giving a cool effect as the glove blows itself up. This also includes the basics of using a triple beam balance. You can download the ppt. slide HERE. High school teacher can expand this into stoichiometry and balancing equations, limiti

Forgotten Scientist Project: Researching Scientists from Underrepresented Groups
This multi-step, multi-day project begins with looking at stereotypical scientists. Then, students research scientists from underrepresented groups and create two artifacts to show their understanding of their research. As part of their research they will consider source validity. Finally, it ends with a discussion of what scientists really look like in comparison to stereotypes we see. Teacher Google Slideshow with student directions + rubrics included.

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

In this lesson students will be practicing a Go Go Mo protocol to start exploring the process of weathering. Students will begin to make inferences on how things weather and the different types of weathering. Students will start by looking at pictures, take some guess and write it down on a post-it, discuss within their groups and then move about to discuss with other students. While moving about students will Give one post-it, get one post-it and then move on to another student (Go Go Mo). Incl
