Evolution Lab Making Coacervates, Origin of Life, Earth's History
How did life on Earth begin? Many scientists believe that the first cells were simply aggregates of organic molecules called coacervates. In this lab, students will first test and observe the effect of pH on coacervate formation. In the second part of the activity, students must design their own experiment to test the effect of a different variable on coacervate formation.This resource is two lab activities in one download.In the first lab activity: Students will follow a procedure to learn

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

AP-Aligned Universal Lab Report Rubric
This rubric my colleagues and I designed after an AP Institute. We felt like the rubrics provided were extremely technical and difficult for students to break down into manageable criteria even they could score. If students score an Exceeding, this meets the standard for AP expectations for lab report technical writing. This rubric has been used in 9th-12th grade courses in a number of various laboratory sciences (i.e. chemistry, biology, physics, botany, etc.). If you'd like a guide that provid
