Experimental Probability Activity (dice lab)
In this activity students work with a partner to roll a pair of dice (many times) and record the sum of the dice in a data collection sheet. Once the data has been collected the students are walked through the process of calculating the experimental probability for each sum and then the theoretical probability for each sum and are asked questions about the differences they find between the values. Students also make a bar graph using the percentages for theoretical probability and can visually s

Geometry:Concurrent Points GeoGebra Activity - Circumcenter & Incenter -w/ Key
Tired of teaching the same boring lessons on Circumcenter and Incenter? After years of using the standard book resources, I decided to create this activity that demonstrates some real-life applications of these concurrent points. This product includes 9 tasks (with complete answer key and screen shots of graphics). Each task will ask students to find a real life circumcenter or incenter. (While this product did not include any centroid or orthocenter problems, I left those options on the top

Rock, Paper, Scissors says Stat: A Chi-Square Lab
Students will utilize a Rock, Paper, Scissors website provided by the New York Times to determine whether the computer throwing Rock, Paper, Scissors is truly random. Students are asked to play the game 30 times in both modes. In addition, students are asked to call back ideas of simulation and probability to review previous learned concepts in preparation for the AP Exam to eliminate the confounding variables associated with human behavior.Please find an updated link to the simulator here: ht

Common Core Math - Volume of Cones,Spheres and Cylinders. Water Lab
Are you looking for a way to raise the rigor of your math class to meet common core standards but also keep it age appropriate and fun? That is exactly what I was looking for so I created this volume lab for my students. It worked so that I will be using it for many years.
Before you download, please know that you will need to have a set of fillable geosolids like the ones found here: http://www.hand2mind.com/item/relational-geosolids/1382

A Deviation From The Norm
This lesson teaches students how to apply information about normal distributions, means, standard deviations, and z-scores from real life data about height. The focus of this lesson is conceptual understanding; students will not be computing any standard deviations. However, they will use a given mean, standard deviation, and normal distribution to compute z-scores and percentiles for their own height, their classmates' heights, and celebrities' heights.

Probability and sums on rolls of two die
Calculating the probability of a variety of rolls on two dice.In this lab we are not actually rolling the dice but looking at the possible combinations, and of course there are more ways to make 7 than 2. Based on these combinations we determine the likelihood of a variety of rolls.While my main focus is psychology I do have a ton of math and statistics stuff… You have managed to find the source of the best Psychology and AP Psychology labs on TPT, go check out my store for other awesome resourc

M & M's Probability Experiment
In this experiment, the students learn about the basics of probability and what happens depending on the sample size. The students predict based on a sample what is in their bag and then find out if the are correct. Then using the actual data the students calculate probabilities based on individual, group and class results. They graph this information as well.
There are questions along with this activity that ask why and get at their thinking. In the end they compare the class results wit

Chemistry Laboratory: Syringe Pumps (Enrichment Chemistry Series)
The New Era Syringe Systems, Inc. syringe pumps are remarkable. They are perfect for grade-level 9-12, laboratory-course teachers who wish to add STEM chemical-engineering experiments. Large-scale chemical systems – e.g., oil refineries and chemical plants – are flow systems. In contrast, laboratory, small-scale chemical systems – usually round-bottom flasks – are batch systems.
The value of a syringe pump is its enormous range of flow rates – as much as one-million to one -- which depend

Human Graph Activity
In this activity, students will be asked to think about important issues in the world and give an opinion. They will move around the room to indicate the choice that they make and observe the movement of other students. This activity can be extended to include practice in collecting data, analyzing data, creating scientific data tables and graphing data. It is a good review of basic concepts and can be used to help students practice different types of communication skills.

A-ha! That's trickier. Like Science, there can be many hypothesis on how they fit together, but the best solution solves the puzzle. If it doesn't work, it's back to square one.This lab activity gets students/student teams to think about the nature of science, and also, to show the importance of being
