This is a 2 page assignment allowing students to fill in their answers addressing the safety concern in each scenario. There are a total of 8 scenarios provided. No answer ke

Don’t Get Caught Germy Handed Lab - Germ Glo Hand Washing Lab
Washing hands is always an important skill to practice, especially now! While teaching about the impact of bacteria and viruses in our world, I like to use this lab to teach the effectiveness of hand-washing.

Students also are able to see all the areas where they miss in their washing so that they can be more effective when washing their hands in the future. #Lifeisbetterwithcleanhands :)This

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
