Skittle Radiometric Decay Half-life Lab
Did you know you can use Skittles candy to demonstrate absolute dating and radiometric decay! Buy a 1-4 lb bag at your local bulk warehouse store for savings. This lab is a great way to show how isotopes decay by shaking a plate full of random skittles. Students use Skittles to observe "Isotopes" decay over each half life. At the end of the lab (and only IF they have done all their work) they can enjoy their "daughter products". Skittles were used because they are durable, hypoallergenic, and th

Testing the Scientific Method Lab Activity (Great for back to School)
A lab activity that enables students to identify and use all parts of the scientific method as they examine whether grapes will float in water and soda.
I did this with my 7th grade class, but the critical thinking skills for that group were not present and the activity did not go well. I would recommend it for no lower than 8th grade.
