Lab Safety Teacher Resources

Students investigate the properties of polymers. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the importance of energy sources. They produce a bioplastic from the lab and evaluate its structural integrity.

For this bones and muscles worksheet, students read about joints and muscles, then create an outline of their body on a large sheet of paper and answer related questions about their joints, bones and muscles.

In this anatomy learning exercise, students learn about the heart and it's characteristics. Students monitor their heartbeat in an experiment and then answer a series of questions about what they found.

Students use eggs, cooking oil, foam balls and more to create a simulation of the brain and record what happens in each step. In this brain lesson plan, students learn about protecting the brain, the brain's ability to learn, and reflexes.

In this life cycle learning exercise, learners read about the butterfly life cycle and draw pictures about it. Students draw 2 pictures and answer 2 short answer questions about the life cycle.

In this senses activity, 2nd graders use their sensory receptors to collect information. Students complete short answer questions regarding what they observed, felt, smelled, tasted, and heard with their senses.

Int his plant worksheet, students folllow the given directions to create an experiment.  Students then answer 5 short answer questions and complete the given data table with results for two weeks.

Students use a Palm loaded with chemistry software to assist them in gaining information presented in a lesson about basic chemistry principles. They perform a basic chemistry demonstration for their class using information from received...

High schoolers investigate the invention of a celt spoon. They construct their own in order to make observations. This should include the spinning in opposite directions than that which it is sent. The construction instructions are...

Students graph data on fetal and infant mortality rates collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They identify trends in the data and propose potential causes for the trends.

Middle schoolers use the scientific method to discover the role of a candle's wick and how radiation allows candle wax to change from solid to liquid to gas. They work in small groups to use the steps of the scientific method approach in...

For this separating solids experiment worksheet, learners follow the procedures to find what physical properties could be used to separate a mixture of pepper, salt, sand and iron filings.

Students examine the functions of earthworms and their effect on soil. They conduct an earthworm dissection lab, and complete a checklist.

Students demonstrate an understanding that the same data can lead to different interpretations and conclusions and that different interpretations and conclusions are not necessarily wrong, but can be useful in developing other scientific...

Ninth graders demonstrate safe lab practices. They make critical decisions as to the effects of the fat content of the milk. Students complete called "Somewhere Over the Milky Rainbow." They are given a safety symbol worksheet. ...

Learners evaluate the importance of hormones in living things. For this biology lesson, students experiment on carrots to differentiate how humans and plants reproduce. They collect data from experiment to answer analysis questions.

Students research and evaluate chemical reaction demonstrations that are found on the web. they work in small groups to choose a demonstration that fits a particular category of reaction and then perform the demonstration for the class.

Students design clay boats and test their floating ability. They sketch and record each test different boat designs. They compare their designs to those of native Inuit vessels by looking at images and attempting to determine the...

Students examine how density is a value that describes what type of a material an object is made of regardless of its shape or size.

Young scholars use a microscope and observation skills to compare and contrast several physical properties and develop a classification system.

Fifth graders research the earthworm and write a one paragraph report on its anatomy and habitat. They learn about worms and how to dissect them through Video Streaming and virtual dissections, along with actually dissect a worm as...

Students determine the presence of drugs in water. In this chemistry lesson, students experiment on water samples using thin layer and column chromatography. They determine the concentration of drugs present using graphical analysis.

Make Newton proud. Scholars apply their understanding of forces and energy to an engineering design challenge. They learn about simple machines, create a presentation on Newton's laws, and develop a balloon-powered car.
