T. rex Autopsy Worksheet for National Geographic Video
T. Rex Autopsy is a 2015 documentary airing on the National Geographic channel where a team of four paleontologists dissect a silicon replica of Tyrannosaurus. The four paleontologists were Tori Herridge, Stephen Brusatte, Matthew T. Mossbrucker and Luke Gamble, who is the lead anatomist. The T. rex was based on the most complete fossil, "Sue."This once-in-a-lifetime experiment offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore questions such as whether or not T. rex had feathers; how it fed with

Using Periodic Trends to Predict Drug Effectiveness
Students will be given a scenario where a scientist is attempting to develop a medication for a brain disorder. The scientist has developed a few different drugs. There were several chemicals that would be effective but the size of the chemical is a factor. In order to actually be effective the chemical needs to be small enough to fit through the blood brain barrier (BBB). The students’ task is to determine the effectiveness of the scientists’ proposed drugs. The students will work in groups of

Gel Electrophoresis: Virtual Lab
Unable to run a Gel Electrophoresis experiment in your own classroom, the University of Utah virtual lab is a great second option to introduce students to Electrophoresis. This document serves as a guide through the virtual lab. It includes picture walkthrough of the lab as well as questions along the way to prevent students from skipping and speeding through the simulation.

Jury Simulation #3
Similar to the FREE product of Jury Simulation #1, this activity is a collection of 4 pages of original content featuring: evidence, court testimony, prosecution and defense suggestions, and potential outcomes for the accused. This activity would be great for a substitute, especially if the students have done this activity prior. 3# Topic Category: Students accused of vandalism during HomecomingThis is a reading packet intended to give students a real life experience of our court system.

Calculating the unknown concentration of a solute in a solvent Virtual Phet Lab
After gathering data from a virtual absorbance lab ( with virtual spectrophotometer). student construct a Beer's Law graph and interpolate the concentration of an unknown solute in a solution. They then compare their results with the theoretical results from the lab and determine percent difference and % error. Afterward a discussion could be started as to why there was a difference in results (exp. error etc.)This lab reinforces graphing techniques as well as proves Beer's Law. It can go furth

Electrophoresis and Shakespeare- NAME THAT PLAY
Electrophoresis is a multistep, multidisciplinary procedure that has been a standard practice in genetics for many years. It usually requires a great deal of equipment and time to perform in the classroom. This paper simulation allows students to conceptualize the process of gel electrophoresis. It provides an opportunity for students to collaborate with a partner and as a whole class. It also works well for kinesthetic learners who need to manipulate materials in order to understand abstract co

HS Forensics - Analyzing Forensic Evidence
This activity has been adapted from the CSI Web Adventures site and is not my own creation, but I thought it was a good activity for students to do some problem solving, collaborative work, and get an idea what happens to evidence "behind the scene" so to speak when it is analyzed at the lab. Students can work in pairs, and once they have made some cost estimates, you can share the "lab results" with them to see if they can solve the case. A good activity for early in the year to get students th
