Theoretical vs Experimental Probability Lab (includes making predictions)
This is a fun, student-centered activity in which students working with a partner will conduct an experimental lab tossing 2 coins. After completing the lab, they will draw conclusions based upon the results of the activity concerning the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Then they use experimental probability to make predictions. I have included the lab activity, a follow-up worksheet which can be used to engage student discussion after the lab, and a worksheet for

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

Dice Probability Lab- Theoretical and Experimental
This lab requires 2 dice per group but you can use a digital dice as well.The students find the theoretical probability first and then on the second page complete the experiment. They then compare the theoretical probability to the experimental probability with exit slip type questions.

Probability -- Virtual Manipulatives Lab for Middle School Math CCSS Common Core
This lab guides students through five of the probability virtual manipulatives (applets) from the nlvm website: Coin Tossing, Box Model, Spinners, Stick or Switch, and Hamlet Happens. These virtual manipulatives are a great way for students to explore theoretical and experimental probability by very quickly simulating flipping a coin 100 times, spinning a spinner 500 times, or randomly drawing letters from the phrase “To Be or Not to Be” until their chosen word is selected by chance.
