Middle School Science Experiments
Directions: Click on the”Experiment Title” link to the lab that you wish to preview. The webpage provides a description of the experiment with correlations to state and national science standards. After you submit a SIM request to borrow equipment or obtain the services of the Mobile Educator, then you will be emailed both the student and teacher versions of the complete experiment in Word format. You may edit the lab to meet your specific needs and make copies for use with your classes.
