NGSS Seafloor Spreading Model MS-ESS2-3
In this activity, students will create a model that simulates the creative and destructive forces that result in seafloor spreading. There are movable tabs that are pulled on the sides that show how these horizontal layers of basalt are created and spread out in opposite directions. Relative ages of rock can be established. Given a scale, absolute ages can also be deduced.Materials needed are just copy paper, a small bit of tape, scissors, and coloring utensils.This activity is more chill than m

Trees, Forestry and Deforestation 5E Lab-Distance learning possible
Update for distance learning: Students could do this lab at home with a tree in their backyard, neighborhood, or park. They need a cheap measuring tape, a cardboard triangle, string and a weight. Through zoom or a video, teachers can help students through the math. Another option is for the teacher to make a video measuring a tree and the corresponding math. Students can do the follow-up questions on their own.This is a full 5E designed for inquiry. It is advanced enough for AP, but accessible f

Edible Soil Horizons & Compare Climates/Biomes, AP Environmental Science Lab
Many teachers have students make soil horizons with pudding and cookies because we all know students are motivated by food! I created this lab to bring more AP content knowledge into this fun activity. Instead of all making the same soil profile from pudding and cookies, a group of students create 5 different soil profiles that correspond to 5 different biomes and climate characteristics. They need to make observations and answer questions about each profile, and answer other general questions a
