Borax Crystal Snowflakes Lab Activity
This lab activity is used in my 8th grade classroom as a review of physical and chemical changes prior to beginning the chemical bonding and chemical reactions chapters. This is a creative and entertaining way to review the differences between physical and chemical changes, introduce crystal structure, and revisit geology concepts learned in earlier grades. The crystals grow large and quickly on the pipe cleaners. It's fun to hang the "snowflakes" from the classroom ceiling to make your very

An EGG-Cellent Experiment for Investigating Osmosis and Tonicity
When analyzing our student's End of Course assessment scores one year, we saw that the students missed more tonicity questions than any other type. We vowed to make more activities the next year for helping them understand this somewhat tougher concept. This activity is one of them.Using the egg to investigate osmosis is one of my all time favorite lab activities. I remember it even from high school, so it must have taught me something. I designed this lab activity handout so that my students

VEX IQ Parts Labels - Complete Bundle
This is a COMPLETE BUNDLE OF VEX IQ PARTS LABELS. My robotics classroom was getting out of control and students were having a hard time finding parts. I made these labels to organize my parts.

Simple Machine Virtual Lab #1- Levers
A few years ago, I put together some great hands-on simple machine labs that allowed students to construct simple machines and test their performance using some Vernier digital force sensors. I ran into a problem when students were absent and needed to make up the labs, so I created these virtual labs, in which I perform all the tests on video and ask the students to interpret the results and make observations as they work their way through the Google Forms. When the world drove us to completely
