Dissolved Oxygen, Biologic Oxygen Demand and Dissolved Carbon Dioxide
This activity examines the water quality of 3 different saltwater aquariums (control variables of volume, light and temperature) with different amounts of dead fish in them (differing amounts of decomposing biomass, and the biological oxygen demand, BOD, created by increased decomposer populations). Over a 22-day trial, the quantities, levels, of dissolved oxygen, DO, and dissolved carbon dioxide, DIC, and pH levels are collected. The students graph the data, analyze trends and patterns and answ

Virtual Urchin Ocean Acidification Lab
🌊 Virtual Urchin Ocean Acidification LabEngage your students in a real-world, data-driven investigation of ocean acidification with this interactive Virtual Urchin Lab, based on an authentic research experience from The University of Washington. In this high-interest virtual lab, students explore how decreasing ocean pH impacts sea urchin larval development by measuring larval arm length under different carbon dioxide conditions. This simulation allows students to collect quantitative data,

Population Ecology Lab - Estimating Population Size - Ecology Lab Activity
This population ecology lab uses a mark and recapture simulation to teach estimating population size. This hands-on ecology lab allows students to collect data, perform calculations, and analyze results in a classroom activity that is easy to run and highly engaging. Students compare their estimated population size from lab data to the actual population size and calculate percent error. This population ecology lab gives you a complete, no prep way to teach estimating population size using the ma

Frogs in a Pond Ecosystem Simulation
Students are assigned a starting population of frogs from one of 11 different ponds in the Central Florida area. They track the health of their population over a 10-year simulated timespan (10 rolls of the dice). Each time they roll, something happens to their frogs that year that impacts the population. Sometimes an alligator moves into their pond and starts eating frogs. Sometimes a hurricane hits increasing the size of their pond and the number of insects their frogs eat (resulting in a p

Model the Carbon Cycle - Stations & Dice Game - Biogeochemical Cycles
Make the carbon cycle come alive with this interactive simulation! In this hands-on classroom activity, students take on the role of a carbon atom and journey through eight different carbon reservoirs - experiencing how carbon moves through Earth's systems. At each station, students roll a die to determine their carbon atom’s next destination and the process that moves them there. They’ll record each step of their journey on a tracking sheet. Students will then draw a visual diagram of their

Model the Water Cycle Activity - Stations & Dice Game - Biogeochemical Cycles
Make the water cycle come alive with this interactive simulation! In this hands-on classroom activity, students take on the role of a water molecule and journey through ten different locations - experiencing how water moves through Earth's systems. At each station, students roll a die to determine their water molecule's next destination and the process that moves them there. They’ll record each step of their journey on a tracking sheet.

The Greenhouse Effect PhET Lab Simulation | Editable Student Worksheet & Handout
Greenhouse Effect PhET Simulation – Explore & Model Activity Grades 6–8 | Earth Science | NGSS Aligned This introductory explore‑based lesson uses the interactive PhET Greenhouse Effect simulation to help students build an understanding of how greenhouse gases affect Earth’s temperature before formal instruction. Through guided observation, data recording, reflection questions, and model building, students actively make sense of how energy moves through Earth’s system. Rather than being told ho

Modeling Population Growth - Ecology Lab Simulation
This guided inquiry graphing activity (both printable and digital) involves the student in a study of the growth rate of a rabbit population. The student assumes the role of a scientist to determine the birth rate, mortality rate, growth rate, and total population size of the rabbit population over a 20 year period. The data is plotted on a graph where the student will clearly see the initial exponential growth of the population followed by logistic growth. The activity will reinforce the conc

Ecology Lab Effect of Acid Rain on Seed Germination
What is acid rain and how does it form? What affect does acid rain have on seed germination and the growth of plants? What is the pH of acid rain in your local environment? These are a few of the questions that students will be exploring in this biology or ecology lab activity. The "Human Impact on the Environment" is a vital portion of any ecology unit. It is extremely important that we teach our science students the impact that human activities have on the environment. What is included in

Urbanization Simulation
A simulation game to recreate the growth of a city. The game gives students a one minute timer to add a list of things to a blank map for every 10 year period of growth beginning in 1843 and ending in 2003. The simulation is meant to be frustrating and difficult so that students really get an idea of the many issues that can arise when a city develops quickly. The city used in this powerpoint is Portland, Oregon, but you could easily change the city to be the one in which you live or another cit
