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

Make 3 Types of Red Cabbage pH indicator (liquid, pH paper, powder)
Red cabbage is a tried & true pH indicator for your science lab. While you may have played with liquid indicator, you can also make this into indicator paper to save money on expensive pH strips, or powder for long term storage and use. At ~$2 a head, you can easily make 2 gallons of liquid indicator, plenty of paper test strips, or concentrated powder. You can do a wide range of pH experiments with this food safe indicator. You can also use this to test the pH of food and eat it at the end

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

Black Box Indirect Observation Lab
The black box lab is a classic way to develop inquiry and indirect observations in science. You can have your students show direct observations, and then explain that many of our scientific advancements (atoms, germ theory) were through indirect observations.While there are commercial black box labs you can buy, you can build your own for free! You can use USPS small flat rate boxes (which are delivered for free to the school), shoe boxes or recycled Amazon boxes!You can have after-school studen

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
