Mini Workshop: Sensory Bottles
Rheoscopic fluids were a well known technique to study fluid dynamics in physics. They are used by geologists to study interactions between solid surfaces and running water, they are used by aerospace engineers to study the flow of air around wings. But, computer programmes have driven this art to the recesses of history. However, the art can be seen in sensory bottles. This mini workshop is one that can be used in a small group to show students how to make a sensory bottle they can take home or

Minecraft Kinetic and Potential Energy Lesson Plan
This lesson plan explains how to use Minecraft with a class to teach and assess kinetic and potential energy. Students learn about kinetic and potential energy (worksheet included) and then use Minecraft to create their own roller coaster. They then draw blueprints for their completed roller coaster, drawing the kinetic and potential energy for the coaster at each hill and dip.

Pi-Day Catapult — Optimize Angle & Tension (Predict vs. Measure) | MS–HS NGSS
Description (NGSS included) Celebrate Pi-Day with a data-driven projectile challenge! Students tune angle and tension on a simple launcher, then predict vs. measure range and compute percent error. Teams graph Range vs. Angle (and optional Range vs. Pullback) and explain results with CER. 🧠📈 🔬 Investigate: hold one variable constant to fairly test the other. 🧮 Model: use a calibration shot or R ≈ (v²·sin(2θ))/g to predict. 📊 Analyze: compare predicted vs. measured; percent error

Cranberry Bog Boat — Buoyancy & Density STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligne
Make buoyancy click with a seasonal engineering lab: students design a small foil “bog boat” that carries the maximum mass (cranberries/coins/washers) before sinking. They plan, build, test in a water bin, record data, and iterate to optimize stability and displacement—perfect for stations or a full-period lab. What students do Plan & sketch under material/size constraints, predict capacity. Test in rounds, adding equal-mass items until failure; record max mass, freeboard, and failure mode.
