This lab is an excellent way for students to demonstrate their understanding of Potential and Kinetic Energy and practice basic algebra skills. In addition, the lab equipment is easy for the instructor to acquire and set up. This assessment covers a few key concepts in physics, such as transformation of energy, inertia, potential and kinetic energy. Students create a pendulum on their desk out of washers, string, tape and a pencil and then calculate the velocity, potential and kinetic energy of

The following information is for a general CFA data spreadsheet that can be used and adjusted to any grade level. This spreadsheet is organized by concepts and learning targets. The idea is that the PLC will design a rubric to address student achievement in an area of need. What that means is that this spreadsheet assumes that you will give your CFA on one day and you want to get percentages of student achievement based upon a concept. It gives the teacher the opportunity to reteach in a very ta

OBJECTIVES: the student will use differently prepared celery stalks to make observations and collect data. The data will provide necessary knowledge to be able to differentiate some basic characteristics associated with plant’s xylem and phloem vascular tissues. OVERVIEW: Students will be working in small groups that will be assigned by your teacher to observe vascular tissue in plants. The vascular tissue is the transport system made up of two primary specialized tissues: xylem, which carries

In this activity, students will be creating a Foldable Venn Diagram to demonstrate their understanding of Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions. Students will be provided information and images pertaining to the two types of chemical reactions. The goal of this activity is to correctly sort with 100% accuracy the information and images into three categories, Endothermic Reaction, Exothermic Reaction and Both Types of Reactions. The Foldable Venn Diagram Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions is an

In this lab, students will be conducting an experiment to determine what concentration of plant hormone will produce the most adventitious roots from a stem cutting. Utilizing the materials provided in class, students will conduct an experiment to test the effect of the plant hormone on root development. Students will learn how undifferentiated cells found in the meristem can create specialized cells such as roots leading to clones by having hands-on experience. This assignment is a word docume

This assignment will give students a clearer understanding of the impact that certain life choices can have. An awesome component of this assignment is that it has student learning at multiple layers. Students will gain a deep understanding on the structures and functions of the Nervous System, meanwhile leani

This PowerPoint gives students a basic understanding of plant nutrition. A nice feature of this PowerPoint, is the embedded questions to check for comprehension of content being presented. By the end of this PowerPoint, students will be to do the objectives below. OBJECTIVES 1. Define the terms macro and micro nutrients 2. Explain the functions of the macronutrients (both primary and secondary) and micronutrients within the plant. 3. Describe and be able to recognize the deficiency symptoms f

Student will pretend that they have been assigned to create an informational brochure that will be used by a dermatologist to help educated patients about their skin and some of the concerns associated with certain diseases. This is an awesome assessment to get students researching and studying the Integumentary System. Another wonderful component of this assessment is the detailed rubric to go along with the instructions. The assessment can be adapted for any age group.

Students Will: In this experiment, you will try to drop a tennis ball on a target as you run, jog, and walk past the target. Think it�s easy? Before you begin, try to guess what will happen. Try to figure out when will be the best approach (a run, walk or jog) to release the ball in order to hit the target. Give the reasons why you think you are correct and why the approaches would not be as accurate of a drop. Purpose: Demonstrate Newton�s first law of motion in

In this activity, Students will be creating a Foldable Venn Diagram to demonstrate their understanding of Longitudinal and Transverse Waves. Students will be provided information and images pertaining to the two different types of waves, Longitudinal and Transverse. The goal of this activity is to correctly sort with 100% accuracy the information and images into three categories, Longitudinal, Transverse Waves and Both. The Foldable Venn Diagram on Longitudinal and Transverse Waves is an excell

In this activity, students will be sorting and identifying the difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds. The purpose of this activity is to be able to identify the difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds with a 100% accuracy. This assessment is a perfect activity to do with students to check for understanding on covalent and ionic bonds. The assessment can be used as a quick opener or wrap up assignment on the concept of chemical bonds. The Covalent and Ionic Bonds Sorting Ac

The main objective of this lesson is to find the density of an irregular shaped objects. This is a fun lab, which is easy for the instructor to setup and implement. This lab report is ideal at the end of a density unit. Objectives – Students will be able to: • Apply their understand of density, mass and volume in a lab setting • Utilize mathematics skills to calculate density & volume • Create a graph that displays summative data • Predict outcomes, collect data and draw validated conclusions

This lab report and its accompanying materials provide a structured, hands-on framework that bridges theoretical concepts of plant physiology with practical application, directly supporting key learning objectives in biology and horticulture. For students, the comparative approach between stem cuttings and air layering transforms abstract ideas like "transpiration" and "xylem function" into observable realities, fostering critical thinking as they analyze why one method might fail due to water

3-D Model Skin Project Learning Target: 1. I can create an accurate model of the skin structure and describe the function of all the anatomic parts presented in the 3-D Model. 2. I can teach another individual about the Integumentary System. Assignments Directions: Students will be you will be constructing a 3-D skin model on a square tissue box. Students will need to include all the structures listen below, as well as a list of the functions of each structure, a common skin disease and ski

For this activity, students will work with a partner to make a model that represents the human brain with shower caps and cardboard. Students will be labeling the major parts of the brain, important lobes, and describing the specific functions that are associated with each of these areas. Students will be allowed to use their textbook, notes and/or other reference materials to get the correct information that will be needed to complete the assignment. Students enjoy making the brain model and l
