A lesson on what diabetes is, what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, creating a food diary, how the sugar gets into cells, how to count carbs, how people with Type 1 diabetes
A look at the effects of dehydration and over hydration on the body and electrical conductivity of the heart. A look at what electrolytes are, basic heart rhythms seen on an EKG and how the heart
Students will dive into the fascinating world of parasitology as they collaborate in teams of three to analyze and evaluate the presence of parasites. The lesson aims to enhance both teamwork and
In this laboratory you will use the ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for detecting the presence of an antigen, such as a disease-related agent, from a sample of body fluid. You will be given
Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a
In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.
The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn
Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super
Students will model examples from 3 of the 4 Macromolecule Groups, then film themselves describing their models with specific information about both the model and the Macromolecular group it is from
In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
This is best for high school AP/IB/Honors Biology students for using clay and miscellaneous items to model and then film their model of Cellular Respiration to better understand how the Electron
Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
This lesson gives students another real life example of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Students will use force diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion to find their apparent weight as they
Students will build a paper marble run out of recycled paper which maximizes the time of travel. Students will then analyze the run with energy diagrams (LOL) and determine how much energy was lost.
This is an introductory activity to reaction kinetics at an AP Chemistry level. Students use model kits or Legos in an activity that allows them to model how changing the concentration of reactants in
This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to
In this virtual reality frog dissection, students get to explore the anatomy of a female frog inside and out. The frog’s respective organs are scientifically accurate models to scale, allowing
