Global and Local Convection PowerPoint! ClimateRegions/Winds/Currents/Land&Sea
This PowerPoint explains how convection affects weather patterns and climate.Students must know that because warm air near Earth’s surface rises and then cools as it goes up, a convection current is set up in the atmosphere. There are three atmospheric convection areas in the northern hemisphere and three in the southern hemisphere: arctic region, temperate region and tropical region. Students will learn the wind belts located in that region: polar winds, trade winds and westerlies. Colorful gr

Evolution Simulation by Minute Labs Worksheet Questions / Virtual Lab
Awesome online simulation and videos for evolution. There didn't seem to be any questions available so I made my own. Hope this helps you and your class. It touches upon some basic evolution vocabulary such as natural selection, artificial selection, traits, heritability, mutations, speciation, etc. Designed for about a 60 minute period. Link to the simulation is here if you'd like to check it out: https://labs.minutelabs.io/evolution-simulator/

Density-Dependent Limiting Factor - Rate of Disease Spreading in a Population
Using simple chemicals (NaOH) and phenylthalene, students will participate in an activity that demonstrates the rate of disease spreading through 2 populations of different densities. The activity will help students realize that disease is a density-dependent factor rather than a density-independent factor. By the end students will realize that diseases spread more quickly the more dense the population is by simulating populations. They enjoy finding out who "died" at the end and who survived

Transcription and Translation Model
This is a template for a model that allows students to physically follow the process of transcription and translation. Learners first transcribe the DNA strand onto an mRNA strand via the RNA polymerase visual. Then learners translate the strand using the tRNA via the ribosome visual. Ultimately students sketch the amino acid sequence in their notebooks.
For this activity I gave quick direct instruction on each process first. Then I showed a youtube clip of the transcription process, and had st

Student Survivor- Modeling Adaptation
Students are survivors and the teacher is Mother Nature! Let your wrath begin! Students will flip coins to determine their habitat and skills they have to survive in it. Through scenarios and various events, students add and deduct points to try and survive each round. Students are allowed to flip the coin to create a possible adaptation, but be careful that the luck of the coin does not work against you.

Evolution Game
My 8th graders love this printable evolution game that we play as a class. They get to use their creativity to explore why certain organism survive and others do not. The game is played through rounds in which certain traits are good or not depending on the circumstances. Those who go extinct can come back as a modified version of a surviving student's organism. I have not yet had a class get bored with this activity and the ending round is always fun- what happens when humans come along. :)
