The Lab Pass Challenge | Science Skills Unit Gr 9-12 | EN/ES/HT | SpEd
The Lab Pass Challenge - a science-skills boot camp on lab safety, variables and graphing, run as a week-long case file: read a chemical hazard label, read a data sheet, plan a fair test, build a graph, and close the file by reading a real climate graph, Special Education and English Learner edition. Six class periods (five teaching days and a test day). Fully trilingual: English, Latin American Spanish and Haitian Creole as three separate single-language files - never a translation table.
Day 1 - Read the Label
Day 2 - Read the Data Sheet
Day 3 - Plan a Fair Test
Day 4 - Build the Graph
Day 5 - Close the File: Read the Graph
Day 6 - Unit test.
Every day: a Do Now, an "I can ... by ..." learning target, SUPPORT / STRETCH task tiers, a partner discussion, and an Exit Ticket.
Hazard ratings, safety data and the graphs come from NIH PubChem, CPSC/NIOSH, OSHA, USGS, NOAA and NASA GISS pages and files (public U.S. government information, credited on each source line); practice values and test items are SAMPLE DATA (invented) and labeled so. Pictures: two credited photographs (an eyewash station, CC BY 4.0; the Mauna Loa Observatory, NOAA, public domain) and illustrations created for the unit (not photographs).
