PASCO's labs and experiments for all probes, all grade levels

This is a lab on designing an experiment to desalinate water.

Interesting site..good perhaps for ideas or use with those students who become home-bound. This environmental science laboratory course is specifically designed for practical applications of science using readily available household materials. This course provides the learner with firsthand experience of important scientific aspects of environmental studies, including air quality, ecological concerns, waste-management issues, and energy consumption and conservation.

Our simulated labs exploring eutrophication and toxin biomagnification, fire regimes and succession, and investigating general ecological principles such as population growth, species interactions and community structure provide a great way to add active learning experiences to environmental science courses. Several labs were developed for non-majors and introductory classes, including our Darwinian Snails EvoBeaker® lab which provides a unique opportunity to teach natural selection using an invasive species example.

PEI offers rigorous FieldSTEM guides for educators on conducting field experiences with their students in the outdoors. Our guides are designed to meet the intent of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Initiative and are available for free download.

This is an excellent demonstration for soil erosion. Soil erosion can be a difficult concept for students to understand. This visual demonstration allows students to see and experience erosion and various erosion factors. Follow-up designs could entail how to reduce erosion and design experiments for the ideas.

EarthEcho International's Educator Resources are a collection of videos, lesson plans, and other materials designed to support high-quality classroom experiences.

Lab report guidance. Students/instructors can print out check lists of what a lab needs as well as explanations of all parts. High end hs/collegiate in nature. Read the powerpoint provided for a quick overview.

Here is chance for students to practice matching biomes to graphs. She was analyzing some temperature and precipitation graphs from different cities and trying to match them up to the correct biome where they would be located. Now she needs your help! Your mission is to help her determine in which biomes the cities are located.
