Genetic Engineering Lab Activity
Students will learn and practice the steps to conduct genetic recombination in order to solve a real world problem. This is the activity you have been waiting for! Students will choose the correct restriction enzymes, find the correct cut sites to remove the gene, and place the gene fragment in another DNA strand using the same restriction enzymes. Finally they will simulate the effects of DNA ligase bonding the sticky ends with tape. This has it all!There are two versions included. One for adva

Physics Lab Explorations
Dear fellow educators and curious minds,I am delighted to present to you my labor of love and dedication – the Physics Lab Book for Key Stage 3 and 4. As a passionate science teacher at an International school, I embarked on the journey of creating this comprehensive resource to enrich the physics learning experience for both my students and myself.Physics is a subject that comes alive when students get their hands on experiments. With this in mind, I set out to develop a lab book that not only

Walking Dead Water Filter Lab
With shows like "The Walking Dead" and others, students are interested in how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. One thing they will need is an improvised water filter to clean dirty water. This type of water filter was seen in a episode of "The Walking Dead". It's also featured in survival shows. You will need plastic water bottles, sand, gravel, coffee filters, marbles, and any other medium you think can be used to filter water. I do NOT recommend using charcoal or ash, because when wet they ar

Engineering Careers Web Quest: Hard Skills vs. Soft Skills
Many students don't have a clue about how to apply for a job or look at job descriptions. They don't understand that what they do in the classroom connects to their future performance on a job. This is a great exercise using www.Indeed.com. It requires that the students have access to a computer so that they can do their research. The actual assignment can be done via the computer (if the teacher converts this to a google doc), or this assignment can be printed as a worksheet to help the stu

Earthquake Building Lab w Flat Rate Boxes
This lab uses FREE small USPS flat rate boxes to model buildings in a earthquake zone. You can pick them up for FREE from your local post office, or have them delivered in bulk to your school. Challenge your students to produce buildings that would withstand more earthquake forces. You can also have your students use TinkerCAD to model their home. Your students then modify their building to withstand a greater magnitude earthquake. You can expand this into a building project like the toothpick b

WEIGHTLIFTING - A DESIGN BRIEF
This design brief was developed to serve as an application of student understanding following a unit on simple machines. There are six basic simple machines (lever, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, pulley, and screw) and, by definition, each of these devices reduces the amount of effort required to perform a task. It should be anticipated that student engineering teams will select different ways of solving this problem. Regardless of what simple machine groups select, the goal remains the
