Population Ecology Lab Simulation - Modeling Population Growth
This guided inquiry graphing activity (both printable and digital) involves the student in a study of the growth rate of a rabbit population. The student assumes the role of a scientist to determine the birth rate, mortality rate, growth rate, and total population size of the rabbit population over a 20 year period. The data is plotted on a graph where the student will clearly see the initial exponential growth of the population followed by logistic growth. The activity will reinforce the conce

Explore the Circulatory System
The heart holds many mysteries. Connect the dots to uncover one of them: how much blood flows through its chambers.
In the lungs, what waste product does deoxygenated blood exchange for more oxygen?
What happens to the oxygen in blood when it leaves the heart?

Lynx Toss: Population Ecology for Middle School
Hands on, modeling activities are key to establishing students understanding of biotic components in an ecosystem. In this activity, students will learn about Canadian Lynx. From there they will participate in a scientific modeling activity, the Lynx toss. While recording their results, students will observe how populations grow exponentially and crash when food sources are scarce. Included in this lesson is an editable presentation, linked through Google Drive that will allow you to customize t

Explore the Respiratory System
Breathe in and breathe out. What happens to your chest?
Our lungs are like balloons. As we inhale oxygen, they inflate. As we exhale carbon
dioxide, they deflate. Construct a paper lung and inflate it.
Spot the tiny dots. What do alveoli do as we take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide?
Directions:
1) Cut out square; place printed side up. Fold in half horizontally to crease. Flip over and fold on each diagonal.
2) Collapse into a triangle by pulling the edges of the horizontal fold in

The Lunar Cycle from Space - An Online Sun-Moon-Earth System Simulation
One common misconception that students have is the inability to see the moon during the day. This moon simulation, provided by PBS Learning Media and made possible with WGBH and NASA, provides students with two different views of Earth. This activity provides a scaffolded lesson for students to interact with the simulation. Students begin by predicting if a new moon can be seen at night. Then, starting with lower level tasks and questions to understand the simulation, students are guided to desc

Mass, Gravity, and Spacetime through Gravity Wells!
This collaborative, hands-on station rotation is loaded with resources that will engage students in deep analysis - and deep space! Although this is a materials-heavy project, you’ll hear your students speaking like Astrophysicists by the end of class. This activity has students conduct hands-on research on the relationships between an object’s mass and volume, an object’s mass and its gravitational pull, an object’s gravitational pull and spacetime. There are built-in depth and complexity quest

A Kinesthetic Weather Simulation: Fronts, Density, Temperature, and Air Masses!
If you're looking for a way to make teaching density, temperature, air masses, and weather fronts, look no further! This interactive, hands-on, 3-Scenario game is based on real weather trends throughout North America. Students will work in teams to physically represent the different air masses (cP, cT, mP, and mT) take to create various weather fronts. With physical manipulatives and various forms of reflection (sketch-noting, video-recording, and analysis questions), students will be able to re

Seasonal Changes in Shadows - A Simulation to Understand Direct/Indirect Light
This lesson provides students with an opportunity to explore the relationship between the Sun’s height in the sky, its angle relative to the surface of the Earth, and the length of a shadow. This lesson builds students’ background knowledge, as well as teaching vocabulary in context. Students learn about the different heights of the Sun based on the time of year. They then relate this knowledge to the angle of the Sun relative to the surface of the Earth. They compare this to pictures of direct
