Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction
Students construct models of various molecules, create histograms of the frequency of elements, and diagram parts of an atom. Students will deepen their understanding of matter--that tiny particles
This lesson introduces the first law of motion to students through inquiry and total physical response. Materials needed are Short videos of first-law examples, with no labels or explanations
Let's Fly is a great lesson for those teaching forces and motion. Find some balsa wood flyers through a STEAM source (ideas included), take your students outside to play and let them observe. Then
You could do this together, step by step or give them all of the materials and information needed to do it by themselves. Could be a group activity or an individual activity so each student can take
Summary: In groups students will construct a Rube Goldberg device made completely out of found objects that includes at least 5 simple machines and students will identify the energy transformations
This lesson is based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Students will focus on building a chair where a pound of dumbbell will be used to test the durability of the chair because in the story
In this lesson, students will create and test multiple helicopters to create a helicopter that lands the slowest in a given target. Students will take their best design and share with the class.
In this lesson, students work in groups to simulate a rainstorm and explore ways to manipulate rainwater. Materials include a plastic or aluminum bin, paper, spray bottles, markers, and an array of
