Summative assessment or project for the human body systems. Students answer the following prompts with one system per panel: General instructions: For each body system, create a panel that includes at least one diagram of the body system or the main organ, the functions of that body system within the human body, as well as one interaction that body system has with at least one other system. Things to consider: What are the main structures of the body system? What is the job of this body system? How does this system work with other systems? What happens if something goes wrong within this body system?
Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)

Law of Conservation of Mass with LEGOS! (Lab Activity)

(0)
A great lab for demonstrating the law of conservation of matter. Students use Lego blocks (or you can substitute gummy bears or some other manipulative) to build chemical equations. Students take the mass of the parts of the equations and then see how the mass is unchanged in the reactants and products. This version has two versions: one with pre-filled colors, and the other with the colors left blank so you can adapt it to fit with the Legos you already have. The second part of the lab includes alka-seltzer, water and ziploc baggies. Students see how mass is unchanged in a closed system.
