Bottle Biosphere / Bottle Biome Lesson, Instructions, and Student Packet
This is such an AWESOME and hands-on project that I do with my students the last couple of weeks of the school year as we complete our ecology unit. The kids always tell me that THIS was their favorite science memory of the year! In this document, you will have detailed lesson plan that introduces the idea of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors and how they are ALL important in an ecosystem. The objective for students is: The Student Will Be Able To PLAN, DESIGN, and COMMUNICATE a s

Scientific Method Comic Strip Project
Are you looking for a project that will assess your students' knowledge on the scientific method? This project can do just that. Students will create a comic strip that includes a frame for each of the steps of the scientific method. They will create an illustration and caption that helps to explain each step. I have also included the rubric that can be used for assessment. It can easily be adapted for any science class, and it is a great tool to differentiate instruction.

Shoe Dichotomous Key Lab
Students come in and all place their right shoes into a large pile. They then use the provided template to create a dichotomous key that separates the shoes into smaller and smaller piles based on their charateristics until all students have their shoes back.
The next day, repeat using the already created dichotomous key and discuss why it didn't work the next day (students wearing different shoes have introduced "new" organisms into the environment).

Poppers Experimental Design Lab
Students are provided rubber poppers (http://www.orientaltrading.com/large-marbleized-poppers-a2-16_454-12-1.fltr?Ntt=popper) that are various sizes and colors. Students design an experiment to test an independent variable of their choice (color of popper, size of popper, surface used to launch, etc.) so they can record the data for their dependent variable (height, distance, volume of 'pop', etc.).
I normally use this as my culminating activity once students have had previous experience wit
