Join Lab-Aids at the 2023 Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching this November in Houston, Texas!
Make sure to mark your calendars to attend our workshops and stop by our booth to talk us.
WORKSHOPS:
Elements and the Periodic Table (Kit 109S)
Date: 11/09/23 | Time: 11:30a-12:30p | Location: 352C
This kit contains two activities. In Activity 1, students compare pre-selected data on physical and chemical properties of 14 elements and sort the elements into groups based on common properties. They then compare their classifications with groups - or families - of elements as defined by scientists. In Activity 2, students are introduced to the Periodic Table of the Elements and read about its history and organization. The reading introduces the difference between elements and compounds as well as atoms, molecules, and chemical formulas.
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration (Kit 30S)
Date: 11/09/23 | Time: 4:00-5:00p | Location: 340B
Part one of this kit includes an investigation into the reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration using a series of images and statements. Students then discuss these processes relative to ecosystems and the carbon cycle. In Part two, students read about the details of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, including light and dark reactions, glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
Engineering and Design: Modeling and Mitigating Stream Processes (Kit 446S)
Date: 11/11/23 | Time: 8:00-9:00a | Location: 350B
Part one of this kit includes an investigation into the reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration using a series of images and statements. Students then discuss these processes relative to ecosystems and the carbon cycle. In Part two, students read about the details of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, including light and dark reactions, glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
