Description
Students are provided rubber poppers (http://www.orientaltrading.com/large-marbleized-poppers-a2-16_454-12-1.fltr?Ntt=popper) that are various sizes and colors. Students design an experiment to test an independent variable of their choice (color of popper, size of popper, surface used to launch, etc.) so they can record the data for their dependent variable (height, distance, volume of 'pop', etc.).
I normally use this as my culminating activity once students have had previous experience with setting up an experiment. This is a practical assessment that allows me to verify that each group of students have mastered the scientific process.
Lab is formatted to be a book-fold insert into their science notebooks.

Used this lab at the beginning of the year to practice scientific method and variables. Added bonus was the day we did this, Admin was doing a "learning walk"... always nice to have 100% engagement when they come through! I bought different shapes, sizes and colors of poppers, and added different surfaces to pop from as variables. Thanks for a fun lab activity.
Thank you for the great resource. Highly useful in a variety of ways.
My students love these!
Fun activity1
