This activity is perfect for cross-curricular work with ELA. Learning to write effective is invaluable in many fields, not just science.
-
-
A key to good science is that it is reproduceable. This activity will teach students how to use precise language in order to give good directions in future lab reports.
Rubber Band Racers - 1 views
-
-
After the primary lesson students can extrapolate to real life devices and how they store energy to perform work.
-
-
Students work to design a rubberband race car.
Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy: Bouncing Golf Balls - 1 views
-
-
For a an extension to this activity students could drop the ball from three predetermined heights, record the height of the first bounce, and then predict the height of the first bounce for a fourth starting height.
-
-
Use bouncing golf balls to understand the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.
Ancient Techniques of Determining Earth's Size and Shape - 1 views
-
-
Students can get excited about using some simple measurement techniques to accomplish something big. Working in heterogeneous ability groups would help students whose math ability is lower contribute without feeling inadequate.
-
-
In this activity students use the relationship between the earth and sun and their movements through space to determine the size of the earth.
Ready, Aim, Marshmallows! - 1 views
-
-
If I were to do this activity I would instead give the students a set of materials that they can use and have groups compete to use the same materials to design the best marshmallow launcher. Before beginning, talk to students about strategies for solving this type of problem, such as sketching a plan of the design.
-
One final thought, advanced student might enjoy learning about the formulas of projectile motion.
-
-
This activity is a great starting point for a design contest in the classroom.
Building a Rock and Mineral Collection - 1 views
-
-
The number of different properties that the teacher requires the students to observe can greatly affect the difficulty of this assignment. That offers a great opportunity for differentiation. This would probably be best as a long activity during a detailed unit.
-
-
This page has everything a teacher needs to know to make a class rock and mineral collection or assign the task to students.
Germinating Seeds: Explore Plant Life Cycles - 1 views
-
-
Make sure to add taking measurements in metric units to this activity in order to fully meet the standard. This unit could be connected to a social studies unit on the plants that are important to the local community and humans in general.
-
-
A good starting point for a unit on the parts of a plant and the life cycle of a plant.
Make a Weather Wall - 1 views
-
-
Student who are ready can learn to read a thermometer or a barometer as well as a part of this activity. Make sure to encourage careful record keeping and not accurate predictions. Students should be made aware that one does not "win" science by making correct predictions.
-
-
-
Students can try their hands at observing, recording, and predicting the weather.
Turn Salt Water into Drinking Water - 1 views
-
-
This experiment can lead nicely into a social studies unit about the importance of water to human communities. It could also be used as a starting point for a discussion of how scarcity affects price.
-
-
Students learn how to separate salt from water in order to create drinking water from salt water.
Your Nose Knows! - 1 views
-
-
I like this activity because it works well for a wide variety of students. For students who are easily overwhelmed reduce the number of scents to match. High level students could be asked to come up with an idea for another experiment like this one but for a different sense. Consider allergies when you plan this activity!
-
-
This is a fun activity that teaches young scientists to use an under utilized sense, smell.
