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

Experimental Design Practice: 4 Experiment Analysis
In this assignment, students mark the text to identify experimental design elements such as independent variable and control group. Then, students analyze the experiments by answering some critical thinking questions. Next, they pick an experiment and create a sample data chart for the experiment. If students have received instruction on experimental design, this activity could be used as a checkpoint assessment or a sub plan.

Elenco Snap Circuit Semester Series
One year I was given the challenge of using snap circuits to teach science. This was designed for home school students that attend a weekly options support program. This expands upon the instructions in the original kit, and also provides web quest through PhEt that expand upon ideas not covered. This lab is aligned to the master book that comes with the kits. This matches the current SC-500R kit offered by Elenco, however I was using an older kit version. Some project numbers may not match. Ple
