Grade 9 - Biology Lesson 04 - Lab 01 - Oh Deer Population Dynamics Game
This package contains information to transform a game of 'Oh Deer' into a lab, suitable for a grade 9 general science class. I have used the Oh Deer game here to develop the following:
- Lab experiment outline and rules (1 page)
- Informal lab and graphing requirements (1 page)
- Discussion questions (1 page)
- Formal lab marking rubric (1 page)
- Informal lab marking (1 page)
This game is used to show how the availability of nutrients, water, and shelter can affect the population of deer (stu

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Hearing: How Much Louder to Notice a Difference?
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.1 for hearing) to calculate the just noticeable difference (JND) in loudness for ten stimulus intensities ranging from 20 to 110 dB. After completing the data table, students plot intensity on the x-axis and JND on the y-axis, identify the linear relationship, and explain in everyday language how the JND grows proportionally with intensity. A real-world application problem asks students to calculate the minimum loudness increase a concert-goer

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Smell: How Much Stronger Before You Notice?
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.05 for smell) to calculate JNDs for ten odor concentrations ranging from 20 to 500 AU (arbitrary units). After completing the data table and plotting the graph, students describe the linear intensity-JND relationship and explain how the olfactory system's sensitivity relates proportionally to baseline concentration. A real-world problem asks students to calculate the minimum odor increase a fragrance evaluator named Parfumia would detect at 120

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Taste: How Much Saltier Before You Notice?
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.20 for saltiness) to calculate JNDs for ten salt concentrations ranging from 1 to 40 g/L. The relatively high k value for taste (compared to vision and kinesthesis) gives students data that demonstrates taste's lower sensitivity to proportional changes. After graphing, students describe the linear relationship and explain what the larger k value implies about gustatory discrimination. A real-world problem asks students to calculate the minimum

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Temperature: How Hot Before You Feel the Diff.
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.07 for temperature) to calculate JNDs for ten temperatures ranging from 10 to 55°C. The lab introduces students to thermal sensation as a measurable, Weber's Law-governed sensory modality. After graphing and identifying the linear relationship, students explain how the JND for temperature grows with baseline temperature. A real-world problem asks students to calculate the minimum temperature increase a hot tub enthusiast named Chilldaddy would

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Touch: How Much Pressure Before You Feel More?
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.14 for touch/pressure) to calculate JNDs for ten pressure intensities ranging from 50 to 1500 g. The wide range of values — from light touch to heavy pressure — gives students data that clearly illustrates the proportional scaling of JND across a broad sensory range. After graphing, students describe the linear relationship. A real-world problem asks students to calculate the minimum pressure increase a massage therapist named Squishy would nee

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Vision: How Much Brighter Before Your Eye Notices
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.02 for brightness) to calculate JNDs for ten light intensities ranging from 100 to 3000 candelas (cd). The very low k value for vision — the lowest in the collection alongside kinesthesis — demonstrates that the visual system is among the most sensitive to proportional changes, requiring only a 2% change for detection. After graphing, students note the linear relationship and discuss the implications of the small k value. A real-world problem a

Psychology Lab Weber's Law and Kinesthesis: How Much Heavier Before You Feel It?
Students apply Weber's Law (ΔI = k × I, where k = 0.02 for kinesthesis) to calculate JNDs for ten lifted weights ranging from 100 to 5000 g. Sharing the same k value as vision (0.02), this lab allows for cross-modal comparison of sensitivity and demonstrates that the kinesthetic system — despite sensing a very different type of stimulus — matches visual sensitivity in proportional discrimination. After graphing, students describe the linear relationship. A real-world problem asks students to cal

Error Olympics
Students will actively estimate and calculate values (ex. the temperature of water) to determine percent error. This is a great active lesson since kids will be moving from station to station to complete their data collection, ideally in small groups.
Aside from simply learning to calculate percent error, students will also learn the value of accurate data collection.
Paper "Olympic Medals" are also included to award the students at the end whose estimates were closest to their actual val

Experimental vs Theoretical Probability
Have your students roll dice and look at the data. Discuss the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 vs experimental probability. What happens as the same size increase? Students work in groups of 2 or 3 and record their data. You can have everyone tell you their data and type it in, or you can have the students type their data into the shared google sheet. As they type the stats will update live and they have a graph showing them each roll. *Note: If you don't have dice you can use an online

Chi-Square with Dice
A short yet effective lab on Chi-Square! Students can struggle at first with Chi-Square. This lab is a perfect way to introduce and/or reinforce Chi-Square while also getting students to enjoy Chi-Square. You will need to have dice available. (Amazon!) The lab calls for 6 dice per group, but you can increase the number of dice to 12 or 18 if you wish to increase sample size. (Expected values will be different though if you decide to increase the number of dice.) An editable version is available
