Mystery White Powder Lab for Forensic Science Toxicology Unit
This is an inquiry based Forensic Science Lab that takes place during the Toxicology Unit. Students will be modeling the techniques of a Forensic Toxicologist by creating their own method of identifying household white powders that may all look the same. It is student driven and student led. This started as a remote learning lab, so it is written in a way that students could do it at home. The teacher would need to provde and variety of white powders and testing materials that students request.

Before and After: Leavening Agent No-Bake Cookie Dough Experiment
What happens if you try to bake our no-bake cookie dough recipe? Help students discover the role and significance of leavening agents in a baked product with this prediction sheet. If there are no eggs, baking powder, or baking soda in this recipe, what will they bake like in terms of texture, spread, and structure?
I do this experiment after a no bake cookie dough demo. Students write their "before" predictions while I put the cookies in the oven. After the cookies bake, the "after" section i

Solving Triangles using Excel (Editable)
I think that when we use technology in the classroom with our students, we should teach them to use technology as a tool. One of the best applications for using a spreadsheet in class is in the solution of triangles. After my students have mastered the laws of sines and cosines with handheld calculators, and are familiar with the ambiguous case, I have them redo the same problems using excel.
It is a very challenging activity for them.

PHET Vector Lab (Online Simulator)
I created this lab as an intro into two dimensional motion for my physics classes. The lab uses all the techniques of adding vectors head-to-tail and demonstrates for them that the two vectors being added to make a resultant are the components of that resultant. This lab is great practice and very self-explanatory for grades 11 and 12. I created this lab so that it was an electronic lab so that they could open the lab on their computers, fill out the lab in MS Word, and submit it back to me onli

Trig in the Tower Day (Using Trigonometry in the Real World) (Editable)
After weeks of doing right-triangle trigonometry, I find that my "best" trigonometry students struggle to apply what they learned to an outdoor setting. I wrote this activity so that students would have a chance to calculate the height of a school building tower. At some schools, I have called this "Trig in the Trees" day, since it often involves determining the height of a tree on campus.
You'll need to set up the three challenges, two of which involve cones. (You could use any classroom ob

This activity can be used in conjunction with any of the other computer science labs (Physics: Introduction to Programming I, etc.) offered by Creative Curricula. This lab can also be used as a stand-alone activity. Experienced code writers understand a variety of computer languages. BASIC is the first computer language that reached the masses in the 1970s and early 1980s. While it is not used much today, a great deal can be learned about coding by using BASIC.
