Moving Cities
This activity helps student determine the rate at which continental drift is causing cities to move toward or away from each other. Using current and past longitude and latitude data, students calculate the rate of increase or decrease in distance between large global cities. This data can then be used to predict the future movement of the cities based on historic trends.

Population Genetics: Allele Frequency and Natural Selection
This activity asks students to explore what happens to allele frequency in a population of goldfish when environmental pressures (the introduction of a predatory octopus!) are placed on them. Students will be asked to make predictions, interpret data and allele frequencies, create a graph of the allele distribution, and (most importantly) eat goldfish. I have uploaded this in a .docx format so you can modify and differentiate for your classroom and students' needs. I recommend going through

Atmospheric Mass Lab
This is a simple hands-on activity. Students studying the atmosphere learn that molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide comprise air. Air cannot be seen. The pressure this air exerts on us cannot be felt as our body’s internal pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. In this activity, students follow a simple procedure to evacuate the air from inside an empty aluminum drink can. Once the air is removed, atmospheric pressure quickly and dramatically crushes the can. Students wil

Sound Pollution Assessment Lab
Sound pollution, or noise pollution, is unwanted or harmful sound that disrupts the environment. The decibel (dB) scale measures sound intensity logarithmically, meaning each 10 dB increase represents a tenfold increase in sound intensity. Prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 dB can cause hearing damage, while levels above 120 dB can cause immediate harm. Smartphone apps use the device's microphone to estimate sound levels, but their accuracy can vary based on microphone quality, calibration, a
