Students are given a difficult challenge that requires they integrate what they have learned so far in the unit about wait blocks, loops and switches. They incorporate these tools into their programming of the LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots to perform different tasks depending on input from a sound sensor and two touch sensors. This activity helps students understand how similar logic is implemented for other every day device operations via computer programs. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and worksheet are provided.

Students use the spectrograph from the "Building a Fancy Spectrograph" activity to gather data about different light sources. Using the data, they make comparisons between the light sources and make conjectures about the composition of these sources.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about using a scale and subtraction to find weight in grams.

Students develop a physical understanding for the meaning of equality by trying to find equal lengths using rods.

Bioscience Instructional Resources including Program Technical Standards, Professional Skill Standards, Blueprint for Instruction and Assessment, Instructional Framework, Terminology, and Identified Industry Certifications List.

A Scope and Sequence document is a tool which provides a brief outline of the standards and recommended teaching order for a particular course.A Scope and Sequence document outlines for each year of the program three crucial learning criteria:The Technical and Professional Skill Standards to be taught in each unitThe suggested order for teaching the content and skillsThe number of units to be included in each grading cycle or quarter

In this lesson, students will explain what a solution is and its components as well as explain what a mole is.  Then they will perform solution calculations and explain the two (2) methods for making a solution.

In this lesson, students will identify biological storage containers used in a stock room and list the two (2) main categories of chemicals.  Then they will list subcategories of chemicals and where those groups should be stored in a stock room before designing a proper biological and chemical stock room set up.

In this lesson, students will explain the terms biological and chemical as well as read a chemical/ biological label and MSDS sheet.  Then they will explain the importance of proper chemical and biological labeling before filling out a chemical/ biological storage label.

In this lesson, students will demonstrate an understanding of how to correctly dilute a solution via specific and serial dilution, and then dispose of it correctly.

In this lesson, students will demonstrate an understanding of how to correctly store and prepared a solution in the proper container and section of a stockroom.

In this lesson, students will give reasons for needing to dispose of chemicals safely as well as list four categories of chemicals for disposal and write a flow chart for lab waste disposal.

In this lesson, students will list the reasons to use a serial dilution and explain how to find the dilution factor and total dilution factor as well as use a SOP for 10-Fold Serial Dilutions.

In this lesson, students will explain biological and chemical spoilage/ expiration concerns before listing ways to avoid costly Biological and Chemical loss through spoilage and expiration and performing a stockroom storage compliance audit.

In this lesson, students will prepare solution according to the SOP written in the previous lesson.

In this lesson, students will explain what a dilution is and when one might be needed before naming two (2) types of dilutions and explaining the calculations and steps needed for a specific dilution.

In this lesson, students will recall the parts of a solution and explain what concentration means.  Then they will give examples of where concentration units are used before listing common concentration units used in a lab and differentiate between the various concentration units.
