Film Canister Submarine - Density Lab - Buoyancy & Density STEM Challenge
In this hands-on STEM challenge, students design and test a film canister “submarine” that sinks as slowly as possible. By exploring the relationship between mass, volume, and density, students will learn why some objects float, sink, or hover in water. This activity is perfect for middle school physical science or as an NGSS-aligned enrichment lesson on density and buoyancy. Students love the challenge aspect, and teachers love the ready-to-use directions, data tables, and answer keys! Wh

Oreo Experimental Design Challenge
Students use America's favorite cookie to determine if double stuff really do have "double" the stuff.
Materials needed include scales (triple beam or digital), plastic knives, napkins and cookies.
This would be a good assessment for students to ensure that they understand experimental design. It would also make a good review for a final exam at the end of the year, or in preparing for standardized testing.

Paper Tower Lab: 2 day building challenge with optional 3rd day
This is a very fun, engaging STEM building challenge that can be done as-is or adapted to a large variety of classes, timeframes, and abilities. I use it early in the year for science classes to introduce scientific method, but it is also a great icebreaker, summer STEM activity, etc. I always use scrap paper leftover from my classes. I take pictures, keep a running data table of tower heights on the board from all of my different classes, and the kids usually get very competitive in a fun wa
