Momentum and Mass Lab
This STEM lab was created for a 5th grade class and tests whether mass affects momentum. Using toy cars, a dime, a quarter, and a ramp, students complete trials to test how mass affects momentum. They also increase the velocity of the travelling car by raising the ramp and test if velocity also affects momentum. Following the scientific method, this lab provides the problem, procedure, trial charts, and questions for drawing conclusions. Toy cars can be purchased bulk from Oriental Trading a

A Bad Case of Stripes Engineering Design Process STEM Challenge Journal
Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve technical problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems. Students should engage in the engineering design process regularly through STEM challenges. The Engineering Design Process is a set of steps that engineers follow to find a solution to a problem. These steps are iterative which means that engineers repeat them as needed to improve their work with each cycle.

Engineering: Weights and Measures Conversion Tables
A weights and measures conversion table is useful when converting and calculating engineering, construction and STEM problem solving projects and activities. It helps students learn how to locate information and convert that information into their calculations. The conversion table also allows teachers to increase the rigor in their activities and problem solving projects by supplying students access to the needed information to accurately calculate a complex problem.

STEM Challenge - Seed Dispersal Via Wind
Focus Question(s): Why is it an evolutionary advantage to plants to disperse their seeds? What seed designs aid in dispersal?Most plants grow from seeds. Dispersal of seeds is important for the continued survival of a plant species. If plants grow too closely together, or if baby plants are deposited right underneath the parent plant, they compete for light, water, and nutrients. Seed dispersal allows offspring to be spread over a wide area, decreasing the competition between offspring, and als
