Parts of a Seed
Use this page to teach students the parts of a seed. Soak fresh seeds (We used lima beans) in water until they absorb water, the seed coat starts to come off, and they start to split open. Should take several hours. Students will each get their own seed and will be able to identify each part on their seed. They will tape each part of their seed to the bottom of their paper.

Tragedy of the Commons Lab - Human Impact on the Environment
In 1968 the Tragedy of the Commons was published. A major principle of the article is the notion that any resource that is open to everyone – such as the air or parts of the ocean – will eventually be destroyed because everyone can use the resource but no one is responsible for preserving it. When people are not compelled to preserve resources for the welfare for future generations, the Tragedy of the Commons occurs. Objective: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how individuals co

Temperature & Matter Lab- Is Gas Really Matter? With Extension
✨Have you ever felt like your students "grasp" solids, liquids, and gases are matter- they take up space and have mass? But then, you realize they say things like "I can move through gas- like it's not here! It doesn't take up space" once you start getting into deeper discussions about it? That's what this lesson was designed for- to show that gas DOES take up space (inside a balloon) and prove that gas DOES have mass using scientific and mathematical evidence! ✨ I also felt like students were t
