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

The Autobahn ~ Driving in Germany ~ Modern Marvels Movie Guide + Quiz + Project
It's amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snowblower, or vacuum cleaner." Ben Bergor (American magician & humorist ~ 1893 - 1981)Everyone has heard of the Autobahn - that German superhighway with no speed limit. Well, that's not quite true. On certain stretches there is a speed limit and the Modern Marvels documentary on 'The Autobahn' explains that and so much more about this 'the sky's the limit' driving experience. You get: 1.

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.
