    Lab
    Students examine the properties of water by dropping water onto a penny. Students will be able to explain how the cell membrane, a lipid, can be used to separate the cell from its environment in order to run its own metabolism.

    Lab
    Students play the roles of individual carbon atoms going through carbon-transforming processes in an ecosystem. Key ideas include (a) carbon-transforming processes in individual organisms (eating, digestion, biosynthesis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration and death/defecation) move carbon atoms from one carbon pool to another, (b) carbon atoms visit some pools much more often than others, and (c) the game is a model of how atoms move through ecosystems—like real ecosystems in some ways and unlike it in others.

    Cell Surface Area to Volume Lab
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    Students build a 3 models to represent 3 different cell sizes. Students will then calculate the surface area and volume for each model.

    Food for Thought Lab
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    Students model how populations of different regions of the world compare with regards to numbers and food availabilty. Students will be divided by regions, and given food. The amount of food is based on statistics of each region.
