Ecosystems- Roadrunners and Coyotes NGSS Middle School LS2-1
Turn your students into an active ecosystem. This activity is similar to the classic Oh Deer simulation with a roadrunner and coyote twist. This sequence of NGSS aligned activities/assessments includes two simulation activities in which students are in the roles of a population of roadrunners, a predator (coyote), and resources (food, water, shelter). Students collect, graph, and analyze data to look for cause and effect relationships in an ecosystem. Reading and writing pages are included along

Investigating the Spread of a Viral Outbreak
Students in grades 5 - 9 model the spread of an infectious disease under the entertaining theme of a zombie outbreak. One student unknowingly is patient zero and students simulate the spread of an airborne illness. This highly engaging activity covers health topics, nature of science, and math skills as students graph data in a line plot. Higher level students can be challenged to find the function of the exponential growth of the outbreak.

Scatterplots and Line of Best Fit
This engaging activity allows students to apply their knowledge of slope, scatterplot data, and line of best fit to figure out how tall Sasquatch is. Taking the role of engineers, students use a foot print of sasquatch to approximate his height which is needed to construct a trap. An engaging newspaper article sets the scene of the recent Sasquatch sightings at the local park.

Persuading with Data: Using data bias to your advantage
The activity is designed as a follow-up to my Data Bias activity (posted for free). Student use what they learned about data bias to create data presentations (graphs, charts) that help prove their point. Multiple scenarios are given where students are trying to convince their parents that their grades/behavior aren't bad.
This activity helps students internalize the power of data bias and makes them more likely to look out for this bias in the real world. This makes for a really fun homew

GPS Simulation - Applications of Algebra and Geometry - Aligned with Numb3rs
Are you tired of hearing your students say "When would you ever use this!?" This lesson is a perfect way to silence their complaints!
I originally designed this lesson to be used after watching the episode "Convergence"of the CBS television series Numb3rs. I think every middle/HS teacher should own copies of this series. If you aren't familiar with the show, it is basically a crime show where the characters solve crimes with math. (Similar to CSI) You might be able to download free episodes

Bird Watching
After researching various birds, I created mini books. The art of bird watching is as simple as looking at all the identification markings on a particular bird. This can be a long lesson on birds or daily lessons on each individual bird. This includes information on birds' height and wingspan. I have made different booklets for you to use with your students, depending on their level. Students love to compare the birds. Pretending the birds are real, also captures their imagination. They

Everything you need to run a stock market simulation project with your class. I used this with grade 7 students, but could be used or modified for a range of grades. Students will learn what the stock market is and how it works, make their own informed stock purchases, and then make trades with each other to simulate the stock exchange in your classroom over several class periods. They will be required to record and track their data in multiple ways and reflect on what they learned at the end. I

Ordered Pairs: Quadrants & Signs
This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation stresses quadrant location and the signs of the ordered pairs that fall into each particular quadrant. It assumes prior knowledge of plotting & identifying points in the coordinate plane. Examples lead students to try to first figure out on their own what a set of un-plotted order pairs have in common. The pairs will fall in the same quadrant and all x-coordinate signs will match as well as all y-coordinates matching. Students can take a 5-question quiz

M'Kenna Lesson 8 | In Person
Based on OpenSciEd's Metabolic Reactions unit. Students finish their graphs from the villi simulation. They complete a graph on paper and using a spreadsheet, then answer reflection questions. Students should decide that taller villi allow for more food absorption because they have more cells, and more cells mean more "doorways" the food molecules can go through. Most will also decide that M'Kenna's villi are probably short or flat. If they need further evidence they can think about the small in

Ordered Pairs: Sign Changes & Reflections
This 20-slide PowerPoint presentation tests and develops three rules involving reflections resulting from sign changes in an ordered pair. The three rules involve changing the x-coordinate sign only, changing the y-coordinate sign only, and changing both coordinate's signs. Thus the result is reflection across the y-axis, reflection across the x-axis, and reflection across the origin, respectively. Students are expected to have previous knowledge of plotting & identifying ordered pairs, iden
