Incorporate Middle School Science Experiments into your classroom... your way.

Despite our best intentions as teachers, lab activities often become an ineffective use of precious class time as students blindly follow lab instructions without consideration for what they are (or should be) learning from performing the experiment.

At the heart of PASCO's Middle School Experiments for Earth, Life and Physical Science lab manual is a commitment to ensuring student learning through all phases of a lab activity.  Questions embedded throughout the activity, sequencing and key term challenges, opportunities to predict outcomes prior to data collection and post-lab multiple choice questions all help to make the connection between lectures and labs as seamless as possible. 

Over 50 lab activities in the areas of earth, life and physical science are included, each written specifically for middle school age students.  And all of them can be edited to suit the needs of your students or to better coordinate with your classroom lectures.

PASCO probeware means accurate and repeatable real-time data collection.  Best of all, the experiments can be performed with any of PASCO's data collection systems.  Whether you use the SPARK Learning System, Xplorer GLX or DataStudio there will be a setup that will work for your classroom.

Check the Experiments tab for a full rundown on the activities that will be included and stay tuned for more details.

• Over 50 editable activities in Earth, Life and Physical Science.
• Key term challenge" increases vocabulary skills.
• Students make predictions before collecting data to ensure they are engaged in the activity.
• Connections are made to the real world through group discussions

Further details on this lab manual, including equipment bundles for performing all the activities will be coming soon.  To be alerted by email, follow this link to subscribe to the PASCO E-mail Alert.
