Mystery checks lab, good for the nature of science. Use this in APES and Forensic science

Good sample college ecology lab showing a format to aspire to, if not attain in high school. Is is about beavers,what could be better than thtt?

Decent jumping off place to use when designing a hs lab report rubric. It contains all possible component categories which could be edited down for less involved reports

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.

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.

NY regents exams..work as a source fro mc exam questions.

APES laws fit for putting on flash cards...just 18, so manageable.

Diagram of the layers in an aseptic package (like a juice box)

Very detailed database as to plant sitings by county. I have used it to id wild hops and discover that black walnut is in many AL counties

Okay this is a novel one...and maybe a bit ghoulish. This allows you to search cemeteries by country or state (county) for tombs stone records. VERY cool for cemetery lab. Makes comparisons by regions/country possible ...

Nice black walnut/tomato allelopathy investigation.

Citizen scientist work to track stormwater runoff from construction sites

Water quality measurements taken by citizen scientists..data available to use as well.

wiki space. Not sure how 'active' this site still is. The blog questions are still valuable resoures to get students thinking in a FRQ mode.

Topic coverage for APES. Not to everyone's taste

Extensive teacher/course website.
