Open Sci Ed Unit 8.1 focuses on contact forces and how collisions affect motion, beginning with an anchoring phenomenon involving dropping a cell phone. Throughout the unit, students complete hands-on labs investigating force pairs, mass and motion during collisions, and the effects of friction on different surfaces, while developing and revising scientific models. This bundle has labs, worksheets, quizzes, study guide and test. The unit concludes with a comprehensive test that assesses vocabula

This 4 page test includes 23 questions that covers 6.1 Open Sci Ed Lessons 1-7. This test includes multiple choice, fill in the blanks, label the parts of the eyeball, short responses, and 4 questions that include paragraph form answers that should be in claim, evidence, and reasoning format. This test can easily be modified to lower level students and IEP's. Answer key included

This cumulative Study Guide is 20 questions that cover 6.1 Open Sci Ed Lessons 1 -7 on light and matter. The study guide is filled with multiple choice questions, fill in the blank, label the diagram, and short answer response questions. Answer key included.

This lab explores the relationship between kinetic energy and force by observing the "breaking point" of a saltine cracker. Since we are increasing the mass of the cart while keeping the height of the ramp constant, we are directly testing how speed and energy impact a stationary object. Materials NeededThe Ramp: A sturdy board (approx. 3–4 feet) and a thick textbook.The Projectile: A small toy cart or physics trolley.The Weights: Washers, pennies, or standardized lab weights (enough to triple

This is a fantastic way to introduce Fluid Dynamics and Air Resistance (drag) into your physics experiment. By adding a sail, students transition from a simple "gravity vs. friction" model to one that accounts for the "push" of the air. MaterialsThe Cart: Physics cart or toy car.The Sail Kit: 4 Popsicle sticks, 2 Index cards, Modeling clay (to act as the "mast base").The Track: Board/Ramp and a Textbook.The Tools: Stopwatch (or phone) and a Meter stick.

Metal Loop Collision lab pairs with 8.1 Open Sci Ed Lesson 3 Contact Forces. This version focuses more on motion and energy transfer (since metal loops won’t really change shape), but students will still observe differences in movement. In this lab, you will investigate what happens when metal loops collide by observing changes in motion during different types of collisions. The students complete 3 trials and then the students answer analysis questions and write a conclusion. Materials2 carts

This 30 question test covers 8.1 Open Sci Ed Contact Forces. This test is a combination of multiple choice questions, fill in the blank, diagram questions, and short answer questions.

This is a 30 question Study Guide that covers 8.1 Open Sci Ed Contact Forces. This Study Guide includes Multiple choice, fill in the blank, diagram questions, and short answer response.

This project is for middle school science students to create either a presentation or a poster about waves. Their task is to explain the 2 types of waves, include definitions, parts of a wave, and include diagrams or pictures. The students will have 2-3 days to work on the option they choose and then they will need to present their finished project to their classmates. The students can be as creative and pick any theme that they want that is school appropriate.

🔎 Overview:13 question Web Research questions that my students asked while completing 8.1 Open Sci Ed Lesson 1. These questions range from forces, energy, forces in the ocean, and forces in space. "Today you’re going to investigate force and how it relates to motion, energy, and the world around (and beyond!) us. Use reliable science sources like NASA, Britannica, Physics Classroom, Khan Academy, or textbook resources. "

This is a 10 question, multiple choice quiz with answers that covers 8.1 Open Sci Ed Contact Forces Less on 1.

This lab could take an entire 40 minute class period to let students investigate what you have on the lab plus create their own investigations. This lab also has 4 analysis questions that the students have to answer, plus a possible horizontal extention lab which is required in lesson 2 of Open Sci Ed 8.1 contact forces. Then the students have to answer 4 major conclusion questions before they are complete.

This google form quiz is an assessment that can be used after the students complete 6.1 Open Sci Ed Light and Matter Lesson 6. WE DO COVER THE EXTENTION ACTIVITIES AND THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN THIS QUIZ.

Academic StandardsThis lab addresses the following standards: - MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. - MS-PS3-1: Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. IntroductionIn this lab, we will investigate how different forces affect the deformation of materials. W

This lab is an extensive lab that pairs with lesson 2 in Open Sci Ed. The students have to investigate different materials colliding horizontally using a toy car. Materials needed:8 cd cases, 8 golf balls, 8 tennis balls, sticky tack, 8 rubber stoppers, 8 large heavy washers, painters tape.

4 pages PBL that covers a scene to evaluate and give a report. This is a 7 part project that will be expanded upon where students have to calculate the speed, acceleration, and force. The students then have to create a free body diagram and write a report on who was guilty based on the evidence collected through this pbl.
