Separation of Mixtures Lab & Rubric

In this lab students devise their own unique strategies to separate a mixture of water, methanol, sand, salt, iron and copper. Each component of the mixture should be analyzed quantitatively for its mass, percent composition as well as percent error as compared to the actual value. (note: the teacher or instructor needs to create the stock samples and must know the actual value of each component in the mixture). I would recommend using between 40 - 130 grams of water, 3 - 8 grams methanol, 2

Cellular Respiration Equation Assessment

This formative assessment ensures students are working towards NGSS HSLS1-7 by memorizing the equation for cellular respiration. Students must write the equation as described in words and the chemical formulas. In addition to learning the reactants and products for cellular respiration students must also use symbols correctly and balance the equation. This rubric also helps teachers differentiate future instruction for those students ready to move ahead from those that need more practice.

This genetics bundle for middle school science has two similar genetics projects. One project has students make a fairy and the other has students make a goblin. Both projects' requirements and directions are very similar, so they can be used at the same time in a classroom in order to give students choice and increase engagement. These fun and creative middle school genetics projects can be used in the middle or at the end of your genetics and heredity unit. In the projects, students apply

Conductivity Lab, Conductors, Insulators, Resistors, Circuits (Word and PDF )

At the beginning of every unit on electricity, it helps to discuss conductivity. This is a great lab for letting students investigate the differences between conductors and insulators. If you are able to extract a thick pencil lead, students can even observe a resistor (the graphite of the lead conducts electricity, with increasing resistance as the distance between the test leads increases). I have included both PDF and Word files. I have made a suggested list of items to try, but you may modi

Mind Games book report project

Mind Games by Jeanne Marie Grunwell is a fantastic fictional novel written as a scientific journal from the point of view of a group of 7th grade students. It explores the scientific process and has a character every student can relate to. It's funny, emotional and most importantly scientifically sound (although the topic of their study is ESP- the author does a good job at remaining objective). It's a quick read- I love to do it right before Christmas Break or after end-of-year testing. I a

Unit D: Human Systems is the largest unit in Biology 20 by far, taking up nearly half of the course time allocated for Biology 20. Traditionally, biology is taught with the expectation that students will be able to memorize facts. However, this can be overwhelming to students due to the sheer amount of content. This performance task is designed to help students become comfortable in the mastery of knowledge within this course, acting as teachers preparing review materials for future classes.
