Thermal Energy Lab "Total Meltdown"
Students in this activity will feast their “ice” on the importance of insulators, conductors and how they keeps cold matter cool and hot matter warm or vice versa. Children participating in this lab will learn about the correlation between the speed of an object’s molecules and that objects temperature while getting to test different types of insulation, designing, and constructing a container of their own that minimizes the transfer of thermal energy. This is a STEM activity! Key points: · Temp

Bottle Rockets STEM Challenge & Lesson Plan- Editable
Description: Do you need a fun hands-on STEM challenge for the end of the school year? This Bottle Rocket Challenge is the perfect way to keep middle school students engaged during the last week of school. Students will work in groups to design a rocket with a 2-liter bottle and launch it outside with an Aquapod launcher. Students will work through the engineering design process to create their rocket and there is an option to have students connect their rocket design to physical science concept

Boat Building STEM Activity
This activity will lead your students through the process of building a boat!
1) Brainstorm and sketch a design
2) Calculate the cost of materials needed
3) Build your boat
4) Test your boat
5) Reflect
*It's important to note that this comes in an editable PowerPoint, so you will be able to customize this activity to your needs. For example, if your class is learning about decimals in math, you could change the cost of materials to decimal numbers. Voila...cross-curricular connections! Don't w

Protect a Pringle! Engineering Design Lab
This lab is designed to guide the student through the engineering design process in a really fun and easy way!
Students must work together as a team to create an efficient way to protect a Pringle from a drop of 2 meters. The only materials that are required are a large can or two of Pringles, lots of newspapers, and some type of tape.
Students will follow the eight steps of the engineering design process as they identify the need or problem, develop possible solutions, and build and test

Student Original Investigation Lab (Science Fair Packet)
This is one of my favorite activities that I use in my classroom three times a year. Once to kick off the year when we learn about designing an experiment, and the scientific method. Second as a fun thing to do before Winter Break. And third, at the end of the school year, as a final assessment. Students will begin this activity by developing a testable and measurable question. This gives them an opportunity to explore something they are interested in! They will follow the steps in this lab to

Scientific Method "Raft Rally" STEM Design Challenge
This is a 2 class period design challenge that your students will love.
Students are to build a "raft" out of a single piece of aluminum foil. The object of the challenge is to create a raft that holds the most pennies in the classroom. Students test their rafts by adding pennies one at a time until their raft is sunk.
After brainstorming and building their rafts, students are analyzing data and graphing their results. I had students input their data into an excel sheet that was displayed on
