Are you looking for a hands-on, inquiry-based lab for your middle school students that demonstrates natural selection? This lab will do just that as it guides students to act as birds in a forest as they prey on skittles to see how the adaptation of camouflage helps a species survive. They will then collect data to see how the organisms with the fittest traits survive. The lab can be completed in one day and the graph and reflection questions will most likely take a second day to complete.

The simulation activity includes warm up questions, step by step instructions, a data table, line graph, and reflection questions. Students also use math skills to calculate population percentages and display them on a line graph.

Materials needed: skittles & green paper or green napkins (optional: polka dot napkins)

An answer key is included.

Your students will:

• Engage in visual and hands-on learning
• Apply knowledge
• Practice concepts 
• Collect data
• Analyze data
• Draw conclusions
• Use math skills
• Explore real world application of science knowledge

This Animal Cell Collaborative Poster promotes TEAMWORK and COMMUNICATION, while teaching students about the organelles in animal cells.

This activity includes 25 images that make up a large animal cell, meant to display on a bulletin board or on the wall.

Size is 53" x 39 "

All images include numbers so that students are using a consistent color code. If a student's image does not include a number, they will have to talk with their classmates to determine what colors they need to be using. This really encourages TEAMWORK and COMMUNICATION.

How to Use This Product (page included with purchase):

• Print out the 25 images from the pdf document
• Pass out the “Animal Cell Collaborative Poster Guide” that includes the color code
• Once students have the coloring completed, arrange images according to the table included. The correct corresponding position can be found on the top left corner of each image
• Staple the final product to a bulletin board. You can also tape your images to the wall

You and your students will be PROUD of your final display!

FOUR "mini" labs -or shortened activities- to reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.

This particular lab focuses on introducing the following concepts:

Matter Takes Up Space

Two Substances Form a Mixture

Density and Volume

Change of State

(Indirectly the Properties of Matter)

Includes: teacher information, materials list, procedures, helpful tips for facilitating the activities and student handouts/lab sheets

Materials needed for these Mini Labs:

Balloons, Cups, Water, Sugar, Clay, Small Bowls, Paper Towels, Stopwatch, Chocolate Coated Candies

Engage your students with these no prep Valentine's Day themed graphing and data table task cards. Each card has a different scenario or task to help strengthen the science process skills of graphing and data table organization.

This activity is designed to help practice:

• Making graphs
• Making data tables
• Interpreting information given via graph or table

These cards are a perfect way to celebrate and recognize the holiday, while meeting academic objectives.

Included:

• 20 task cards - 4 print per page
• Printable recording sheet
• Digital cards in Google Slides
• Teacher Key

Includes....

• Student packet with all the information for the students to complete
• Rubric for student AND teacher

This project is great for the end of the year. That weird time between end of course tests and the school year end is challenging. The project is mostly self-paced and great for those days that you only see some classes throughout the day. Minimum materials are needed! 11x7 paper, lined, paper, the packet, and yarn!

Student will make a map, complete a packet, and write some journal entries on how they would survive if they were stranded on a deserted island.

This product is only the student packet. You will need the teacher slides for the chance cards. Purchase the BUNDLE to get both.
