Skittle Radiometric Decay Half-life Lab
Did you know you can use Skittles candy to demonstrate absolute dating and radiometric decay! Buy a 1-4 lb bag at your local bulk warehouse store for savings. This lab is a great way to show how isotopes decay by shaking a plate full of random skittles. Students use Skittles to observe "Isotopes" decay over each half life. At the end of the lab (and only IF they have done all their work) they can enjoy their "daughter products". Skittles were used because they are durable, hypoallergenic, and th

Force and Motion STEM Unit
The Force and Motion Interdisciplinary STEM Unit connects to the universal theme of Change. Students will learn through force and motion lessons that change can be planned or spontaneous, evolutionary or revolutionary and that one change stimulates another. Students will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and the Laws of Motion. They will engage in multiple discovery learning centers that include simple experiments about force and motion concepts. Using a problem solving strategy, students will so
