The activity provides students with data collected from several trials using various lab equipment and asks them to calculate average measurements and percent error. Students must then comment on the equipment's accuracy and precision. Students must also record measurements from 8 images of lab equipment (beakers, graduated cylinders, and burettes) and determine the correct number of significant digits. This is a great E-Learning alternative to a traditional Reading Lab Equipment or Accuracy/Pre

The document contains 23 science discussion topics. Topics range from ethical issues (example- Should species created in a lab be released into nature? What if it helped solve hunger?) to other controversial and discussion provoking topics (example- Should samples of eradicated diseases such as smallpox be destroyed?) I allow students to select a topic, do research, and take turns leading that weekly discussion.
