Float your Own Boat Displacement Lab

Created by

This is a tested and established classic lab activity. Students will explore density, volume and mass with this lab. Build your own boat with tin foil, or expand by 3D printing a final design in TinkerCAD! Your class will have fun working in pairs to make a boat out of tin foil that floats as many marbles as possible. They will then explore buoyancy, density, mass and volume as they complete the lab. This includes calculation problems for volume and density. EASEL ACTIVITY: You can now assign

Stresses and Deformation of Earth's Crust Fill-in-the-Blank Review Activity

Created by

Northern Lights Science

This full-page activity is a fill-in-the-blank guide for a unit in middle school earth science about stresses and deformation of Earth’s crust. There are seven paragraph-long sections, each containing a boxed-in word bank. The themes for the sections are as follows. StressDeformations Faulting Faulted mountains and valleysFolding Fault or fold? Plateaus, domes, and the floating crust Some of the terms covered are anticline, syncline, ductile, rift valley, fault, fold, dome, plateau, mantle, con

Black Box Indirect Observation Lab

Created by

3D-PT

The black box lab is a classic way to develop inquiry and indirect observations in science. You can have your students show direct observations, and then explain that many of our scientific advancements (atoms, germ theory) were through indirect observations. While there are commercial black box labs you can buy, you can build your own for free! You can use USPS small flat rate boxes (which are delivered for free to the school), shoe boxes or recycled Amazon boxes! You can have after-school stu

Conservation of Momentum Lab Series using Marbles

Created by

Northern Lights Science

This listing features two labs about the conservation of momentum using marbles. I facilitate this activity series on successive days in my eighth-grade physical science class. This lab set aligns with our unit about Newton’s three laws. In the first lab activity, students determine if there is a positive correlation between the number of marbles released down the ruler ramp and the number of stationary marbles ejected upon impact on the bottom, flat portion of the track. In the second lab acti
