Is it Magnetic? Science Sorting Activity (Forces)
Provides a hands-on activity where students cut and sort items into “magnetic” and “non-magnetic” groups. Encourages active engagement and critical thinking through testing and classifying objects. Reinforces the scientific concept of magnetism in a concrete, practical way. Helps students distinguish between materials that are magnetic (e.g., steel) and non-magnetic (e.g., elastic, wood). Promotes fine motor skills through cutting and sorting tasks. Supports vocabulary development rela

Energy Transformation Practice: Reviews Types of Energy and Energy Transfers!
I've done this activity from 7th through 12th grades and it's always entertaining to see what they come up with. Since they're not actually building it, they can really think out of the box (ex- nuclear energy and thermal energy become popular). I usually do this after a lesson on energy and then I will show then the OK Go, "This Too Shall Pass" video as that is the ultimate contraption to model (in my opinion). You may also wish to show them Rube Goldberg examples. Or, modify a bit and simply u
