Mealworm Activity Pack
Teaching about life cycles?
Mealworms allow students to observe complete metamorphosis - little set-up, easy to do and minimal care required. You will need a few months to complete - but checking once a week on these little guys would be effective.
Mealworms go through stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Your students will love watching the worms change to pupas and then into adults (beetles).

LAB - Blizzard of 1993
This laboratory exercise analyzes the Blizzard of 1993. In this lab students plot the location of the low pressure center over the course of the blizzard and they draw snowfall isolines on a map of the eastern United States. Students will make predictions as to where the most snow fell and analyze these predictions afterward. This is a great activity to refresh mapping skills, as well as put weather forecasting into context.
