Lab safety is extremely important. We want you and your classmates to be safe when you are in the lab! Learn here about the ways and signs that you can be safe during the time you are learning in the lab.

In this activity, students use a virtual biology lab to perform investigations and learn lab procedures using compound and dissecting microscopes to look at a variety of animal and plant cells.

This two-day experiment uses different concentrations of sugar to study the rate of fermentation. Students observe the rate of carbon dioxide gas produced by yeast to infer the rate of fermentation. Lesson plan gives a lab procedure,...

This lab is designed to have students work through a procedure that will allow them to determine the resistivity of a wire based on the amount of current going through different lengths of wire.

Using microbiology techniques, students will explore the effect of iron on the fluorescence of several species of bacteria. Studying bacteria in an iron scarce environment allows students to see the fluorescence released. Lesson plan...

This article from the Journal of Geological Education describes an activity in which students locate the epicenter of several earthquakes, plot the trends of the two faults involved, and determine the sense of motion along the plane of...

An experiment from a New Mexico Tech chemistry lab course through which students learn about titration, acetic acid, and weak acids. Contains pre-lab material, diagrams, chemical reactions, procedure, and post-lab questions.

A lab activity where students determine the state of matter of the "oobleck". Students will create a lab procedure to investigate the state of matter. Site includes handouts for the activity.

Observe the two species of bacteria that are found in yogurt by cultivating them on agar plates. In this lab, students will use microbiology techniques to explore these anaerobes. Lesson plan gives a lab procedure, teacher instructions,...

A science experiment to observe the growth of a colony of yeast cells. Students should also be able to observe the hyphae and mycelia structures. Lesson plan gives a background, lab procedure, teacher instructions, points for discussion,...

A science experiment to observe the rate of carbon dioxide gas produced by yeast. Students will get a visual of the process of fermentation. Lesson plan gives a lab procedure, teacher instructions, points for discussion, and additional...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An overview of science laboratory procedures including information about lab equipment, lab safety, and general techniques. After the reading, watch a short video...

A lab activity where students make observations about mealworms to form questions and decide what direction their investigation will take. While studying mealworms, students will choose a variable to change to observe changes to the...

In this lab investigation, students will study different types of rocks and formulate questions about the conditions under which they formed. This lab requires students to use the concepts learned about the rock cycle to develop a...

Information about students being required to answer question prior to lab using an online class management system. Quiz questions center on the lab material content and skills needed to perform the lab activity.

In this activity, students use the virtual lab to create a 0.025M glucose solution from a standard 1M glucose solution. First, they calculate the correct volumes of 1M glucose solution and water to mix together to create the final 0.025M...

In this activity, students use the virtual lab to create stock solutions starting from solid salts. Students must first calculate the correct amount of solid to make the solution. Next, they prepare the solution using the appropriate...
