Virtual Fruit Fly Lab made for Google Slides â„¢
The goal of this lab is to introduce students to Drosophila melanogaster in a fun approachable, virtual way! The lab helps students understand why scientists use Drosophila and how scientists actually use crosses to investigate new mutation alleles they discover in their labs. The crosses are relatively simple (no dihybrids, only one trait crosses). Students should work with the files in EDIT mode, not PRESENT mode. Parts 2-4 have some fun GIFs with moving flies!

Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection
This virtual pig dissection is an alternative for students who do not wish to participate in an actual dissection lab. It is also a good alternative if your budget doesn't allow the purchase of the specimens, since they can be quite expensive. I have also assigned this as make up work for students who were absent on the day of the dissection.

Gummy Bear (or Worms) 'Osmosis or Diffusion?' Lab
This is a fun lab for students to explore the process of osmosis. They love this lab because they get to use Gummy Bears (or Gummy Worms if you like or both), even though they cannot eat them (I usually buy extra gummy bears so they can eat them the next day when they do their second observations) and they get to use the lab equipment, such as the Triple Beam Balance. This activity includes a graph so they can create a bar graph to compare the percent changes that occur to the length, width, and
