Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Respiration Lab
This lab asks students to pick a muscle group and push it to the point of anaerobic respiration. Students should have background knowledge before beginning this. This activity can be done using only a stop watch to time reps (sit-ups, push ups, etc.), but I like to borrow hand weights, yoga balls or pilates bands from the gym for extra fun. Kids really get into this activity!I have uploaded this in a .docx format, so you can edit and differentiate for your classroom and students' needs. Enjo

Investigating the Spread of a Viral Outbreak
Students in grades 5 - 9 model the spread of an infectious disease under the entertaining theme of a zombie outbreak. One student unknowingly is patient zero and students simulate the spread of an airborne illness. This highly engaging activity covers health topics, nature of science, and math skills as students graph data in a line plot. Higher level students can be challenged to find the function of the exponential growth of the outbreak.

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
