Forensic Science Blood Spatter Lab | Origins, Angle & Math Standards | 9–12

Created by

Engage students in authentic forensic science with this comprehensive blood spatter lab that uses trigonometry to determine the point of origin for blood droplets. This detailed activity walks students through bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) using three different estimation methods: graphing, tangent function calculations, and string triangulation. Perfect for cross-curricular learning, this lab connects math and science standards while building critical thinking and problem-solvin

Candy Cane Cantilever — Holiday Structures & Torque STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12,

Created by

Allison Smith

Engineer a festive cantilever that reaches the farthest overhang beyond the table edge—using only candy canes and limited tape! Students plan, build, test, and iterate while applying torque and center of mass ideas. Perfect for a high-engagement holiday lab, stations, or a one-period challenge. 🍬🧰 What students do 🧠 Plan & sketch: identify anchor vs. arm, place joints/tape, predict max overhang. 🧪 Test & measure: record trials, overhang (cm), stability (10 s), failure modes. 📈 Analyze
