How does a Boat Float?
Students will conduct an engineering activity where they design a tinfoil boat that floats. They should continue to redesign the boat to hold an increasing number of pennies. Students will better understand the forces of gravity and buoyancy. Students will see how Archimedes experimented with buoyancy and displacement.

Rube Goldberg
This is a project outline/presentation to guide the students on following the engineering process to build a Rube Goldberg machine. Each day I assigned certain steps and gave the students time to spend on each step. We shared the research with the groups. Before students moved on they had to show me their design prototype to make sure they had at least 3 simple machines. You can increase the amount of simple machines or say at least 5 simple machines and some can be repeated.

Which Lab Tool Do I Use? Review or Beginning of the Year Activity
Lab Tools Power Point
Graduated cylinder, stopwatch, balance, meter stick, volume
This is a great power point that can be used for a variety of purposes.
Each slide has a question and choices about which science lab tool should be used in each scenario. I don't know about you, but each year, I find myself scrambling to find problems such as these to teach or review science lab tools.
It could be a formative assessment that would be great at the beginning of the school year. It could be

Under Pressure
Everything beneath the layers of the ocean is under a great deal of pressure (the amount of force per unit area). Water, like all things on Earth, is continually pulled downward by the force of gravity. As you go deeper into the ocean there is more water above you and therefore a greater weight pushing down on you. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth. In fact, for every 10 meters traveled deeper into the ocean, there is an additional 6.47kg (14.27lbs) of pressure on each squar

TEAM CHALLENGE: Throwing Shade
The Earth's rising temperatures due to climate change are a significant challenge – especially in urban areas because surfaces such as roadways and rooftops absorb and emit heat to a greater extent than most natural surfaces. An " urban heat island" (UHI) occurs when cities experience warmer temperatures than nearby rural areas. One way to combat UHI is to increase green space by planting trees and adding parks and green roofs. In this team challenge lesson, students learn about UHI and create
