Increasing Magnification Lesson Plan
This is a science lesson aimed at upper elementary students. The objective of the lesson is for the student to be able to describe the optical phenomenon that as magnification increases, the field of view decreases. Students examine both comic strips and printed words through a microscope. Included are the lesson plan write up and a student worksheet.

6,7! Gen Z Phrases vs Your Pulse: A Scientific Investigation
Do your students seem like they are speaking their own Gen Z or Gen Alpha language? Does it drive you bananas? Well don't beat them, join them! In this scientific investigation, students test the relationship between repeating certain phrases (6,7 or other equally obnoxious , I mean fun sayings) and their pulse. Does the pulse increase or decrease the more times someone repeats phrases? Does your teachers' pulse change? A fun way to let them use their favorite sayings and still learn about

SI (Metric) Review with Lab Activity & ANSWER KEY
Editable formative assessment or pretest for the International System of Units (SI) or Metric System. Great for the first week of class to see what they remember or as a basic introduction to SI units.
Should be used as a formative assessment or pretest. I use this with my Biology students at the beginning of the year to assess their understanding of SI units from previous science classes. I usually modify it for the post-test.
Students should answer the questions and then the instructor shou

Air Pressure On A Marshmallow
Students investigate and analyze the affect of air pressure on small marshmallows. Students love marshmallows and cool science experiments. This lab activity involves both. In this lab activity, students observe, first hand, the affect of air pressure on matter. Watch students grin as they watch the marshmallows seem to shrink all on their own as pressure is applied. Watch students' grin even more when they see the marshmallows double and triple their original sizes as the air pressure is decrea

Identifying Variables Lab
A lab designed to show students how variables are used in an experiment. I use this when I am teaching what variables are and how they work in an experiment. This lab has students compare increasing amounts of clacium chloride with water temperature. Students also read the research and steps to create a hypothesis using If and Then. An answer key for the graph set up and experimental design is included. Sample answers for observations are also included.
