Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability
Middle Schoolers LOVE probability!
This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates.
This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measu

Experimental Probability Activity (dice lab)
In this activity students work with a partner to roll a pair of dice (many times) and record the sum of the dice in a data collection sheet. Once the data has been collected the students are walked through the process of calculating the experimental probability for each sum and then the theoretical probability for each sum and are asked questions about the differences they find between the values. Students also make a bar graph using the percentages for theoretical probability and can visually s

Theoretical vs Experimental Probability Lab (includes making predictions)
This is a fun, student-centered activity in which students working with a partner will conduct an experimental lab tossing 2 coins. After completing the lab, they will draw conclusions based upon the results of the activity concerning the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Then they use experimental probability to make predictions. I have included the lab activity, a follow-up worksheet which can be used to engage student discussion after the lab, and a worksheet for

Leaf Collection Project
A fall leaf collection project to help students practice taxonomy, scientific naming, and presentation skills.
NEW OPTION: SELFIE LEAF COLLECTION! More info below.
Students will collect ten native leaves, use an online taxonomic key to identify the species, and display leaves in a book. Includes student instructions and a grading rubric.
Assign this project at least 3 weeks in advance of the due date. Here in Tennessee, it inevitably rains every weekend during prime leaf-collecting season, so

Standard Error and Standard Deviation in AP Biology
Statistics is one of those components in AP Biology that is brand new to students.Without a proper introductory lesson to standard error and standard deviation, students can struggle with this all year. Fortunately, this lesson truly walks your students through the process of defining standard deviation and error, applying the concept of error bars with statistical analysis, and graphing data with error bars to make their own statistical analysis. A PowerPoint is included as well to guide the le

Sickle Cell Data Analysis: Hardy-Weinberg and Chi-Square
Want a great way to convert the "traditional" Hardy-Weinberg lab into a data problem set? Here it is! This is ideal for very small classes, where sample size could be an issue, busy classes, where you may need this for additional at-home practice, or very large classes, where the swapping of H-W cards could get too messy.Included is the full data problem set and teacher pages with the answer key.This data problem set covers:-genotypes and phenotypes-the Hardy-Weinberg equation, with application

Scatterplots Linear Regression Line of Best Fit Forearms & Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.
