Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations Practice
This activity provides students with energy practice! it starts with identifying different forms of energy in common life scenarios and items: mechanical, kinetic, potential, heat/thermal, radiant/light, sound, electrical, nuclear and chemical. It then moves on to identifying energy transformations: the starting form and the final form. The practice is best used after the "Energy Powerpoint" and the "Energy Guided Notes". I find it important to scaffhold the practice - to do a few of each type

Lactase Enzyme Lab
This lab demonstrates both the specificity and denaturation of the lactase enzyme. This is a true kitchen-chemistry lab- the only required materials are skim milk, lactase tablets (from the pharmacy aisle), and glucose test strips. The lab is fully editable. To simplify the lab or to shorten it for just one class period, I suggest removing "Part 2". A pre-lab worksheet, teacher preparation notes, expected results, and possible modification/extension are included.

Convex and Concave Lenses Activity
The lab activity requires the use of concave and convex lenses. I use simple small ones that are cheap and easy to buy. In addition, you need to have a small object (penny, pair of dice, etc) and a large object (cabinet, door, tv, etc) for students to examine. They will stay at their desks and use the concave and convex lenses to look at each item (once holding the lens close and once holding it at arm's length). Students will write their observations on the chart provided. Then, students will a
