*Q3 SUPPLIES*

Doing the hands-on portion of the labs is not required, however it will definitely make the class more fun for learners! There are usually follow-up activities that ARE required even if the hands-on portion is not done (a lab report, post-lab questions, a nearpod activity, etc.). Often you can make substitutions for some items (or only do a portion of the lab) if it is difficult to get some of these items. I usually strive to do labs that only require items commonly found around the home. 

Turning in your assignments: you can take a picture(s) of your labs/activities and either upload them to the classroom (under the appropriate week’s post), or send it to me privately through Outschool in a message.

Week 5: 

Blood Lab: 
Plasma: corn syrup (enough to fill up half of a standard water bottle)
Red blood cells: red cinnamon candies 
Platelets: round nonpareils/sprinkles  
White blood cells: mini marshmallows (about 10)
Plastic water bottle
Red food coloring, if no red candies available

If you are not able to locate some of these specific candies, be creative and find something else to use as a substitute. If you can't find any red candies, I would suggest a few drops of red food coloring.

*hint: keep your corn syrup bottle for week 6!

Evolution and Creationism will not be taught in this course, however feel free to contact me if you would like for me to share with you the unit materials (slides/worksheets/foldables) on the topic of Evolution, as this is one of the national standards for 7th grade. I am also happy to set up a private tutoring section to walk your child through this unit. I do not have materials on Creationism (Outschool only permits secular topics). If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact me. 
Please monitor your learner's use of scissors.
