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

Model Functional Regions of the Brain using Swim Caps- Common Core and NGSS
Brain caps are a favorite in my Honors Anatomy and Physiology course and a very cool, far less expensive, alternative to brain dissections. Students create a models of cortical structures and functional regions of the brain on one side of a swim cap, and a midsagittal view of deep structures and functional regions of the brain on the other. This project takes a little less than a week to complete, and is fast and easy to grade, plus students end up with the coolest swim cap ever! After caps are

Circulatory System & Blood Typing Lab (no blood required!)
If you are teaching your students about the circulatory system, this is a great unit for you!This blood type lab is safe to use in all schools, because it uses colored water instead of blood. This way you do not have to deal with blood and lances like traditional medical lessons. You can easily make plenty of colored water to test, and the setup is easy to do. I recommend you have a beach towel ready to clean up any spills. Make sure students wipe down their desk after the lab. This also includ

This is an outdoor lab where students will be running and hunting pasta. The pasta used is tricolored, which will be used to represent prey in the simulation. The pasta usually comes in green, yellow, and red, so the natural rules of being outside and in the grass will provide camouflage, a natural adaptation, for the pasta.
