The Complete Cartesian Diver
The popular science toy, the Cartesian diver, is not only fun to play with, it also connects to at least five scientific principles and laws. • Archimedes' Principle • Pascal's Principle • Boyle's Law • Newton's First Law of Motion • Pressure as a Function of Depth in a fluid A Cartesian Diver is easily made from a 2-Liter plastic bottle and a glass eyedropper. Making a working Cartesian diver is a 100% successful activity.

Matter/Basic Chemistry Unit- Part 10
This is basic matter and chemistry information. Each part is a couple days to a week long worth of activities. Students can use this as a flipped classroom lesson.
These can be adapted from 4th-9th grade I would say since science depending on state will hit many of these terms for state testing. Adapt to fit your kiddos. Don't forget to come back to see the other parts to create a full unit!
