  • Lab Experiment
    Cheek Cell Lab
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    In this short lab, students take a sample of cheek cells from themselves using a toothpick, put a stain on the slide along with the cheek cells, and observe the nucleus and cell membrane under a microscope. Students also answer analysis questions about the procedure and cells.

    Peppered Moth Modeling Lab
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    Students will simulate how predators locate prey in different environments using forceps, newspaper and colored papers. Students will analyze how color affects an organism's ability to survive in certain environments.

  • Lab Experiment
    Rate of Photosynthesis Lab
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    Students perform a simple experiment of photosynthesis using Elodea, baking soda, water and a lamp. The amount of bubbles are counted per minute.

  • Lab Experiment
    Invertebrate Lab: Earthworms and Soil Fertilization
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    How do earthworms influence soil structure? Students observe and discuss how worms ingest soil, break down organic matter, and eject material as surface or sub-surface casts. Also discussed is the formation of water-stable aggregates, the aeration of the soil, and the improvement of soil water-holding capacity.
