Theoretical vs Experimental Probability Lab (includes making predictions)
This is a fun, student-centered activity in which students working with a partner will conduct an experimental lab tossing 2 coins. After completing the lab, they will draw conclusions based upon the results of the activity concerning the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Then they use experimental probability to make predictions. I have included the lab activity, a follow-up worksheet which can be used to engage student discussion after the lab, and a worksheet for

Skittle Radiometric Decay Half-life Lab
Did you know you can use Skittles candy to demonstrate absolute dating and radiometric decay! Buy a 1-4 lb bag at your local bulk warehouse store for savings. This lab is a great way to show how isotopes decay by shaking a plate full of random skittles. Students use Skittles to observe "Isotopes" decay over each half life. At the end of the lab (and only IF they have done all their work) they can enjoy their "daughter products". Skittles were used because they are durable, hypoallergenic, and th

Skittles Probability
Students use skittles to discover or review the probability of simple, compound, independent, and dependent events. Reflection questions are included to help students think critically about the lab they are working through. Students can work through the lab individually or as a group. The activity requires a minimum knowledge of simple probability. Let me know if there is anything I can add to make it a better resources. Every grade level I have taught, 7 - 10 have loved this activity. Skittles

Probability Math Lab - Coin Flipping
This is a one day Math Lab to explore theoretical and experimental probability through flipping coins. Students determine the theoretical probability of a few scenarios and then experiment to see what happens. It comes with a couple pointers on how to preface the lesson and where to go when you're finished. Aligned to the Common Core Standards for Math.

COVID-19 Simulation Lab
Students go to the following website and follow the guide to answer the questions. They look specifically at why social distancing and staying at home works, how population density affects the spread of a virus and how vaccinations can slow the spread. They will answer questions about their thoughts on vaccinations and if they should be required to have one. Website: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/envsci/disease/disease.html

Theoretical vs Experimental Card Lab
This lab allows students to see theoretical probability and experimental probability by having them work with cards. This can be done solo or with a partner. If you don't have enough decks for each person/group you can split up decks making sure there is an even amount of each suit for each set. Or you can use those or you can go to Random.org and use their free one.Lab Sheet for students to write onSample Student copy as an example of how it would be filled in.

Probability -- Virtual Manipulatives Lab for Middle School Math CCSS Common Core
This lab guides students through five of the probability virtual manipulatives (applets) from the nlvm website: Coin Tossing, Box Model, Spinners, Stick or Switch, and Hamlet Happens. These virtual manipulatives are a great way for students to explore theoretical and experimental probability by very quickly simulating flipping a coin 100 times, spinning a spinner 500 times, or randomly drawing letters from the phrase “To Be or Not to Be” until their chosen word is selected by chance.
