This contains a set of experiments: A model experiment (teacher led) with examples of how you could gather and analyze class data A follow-up drone experiment in which students work with small teams (no more than 3 students per team) to conduct their own experiment. There is an individual report template too for each student to complete for evaluation. Each student should be evaluated based on their ability to gather relevant observations, analyze them to verify and prove whether or not the ob

Very simple paper airplane models for students. The models are cut out as a 2D shape, then folded into 3D (very easy to do). Support Video for sharing with students is included. This makes it easier for any teacher to support all students at their own pace!

This introductory video leads students to begin to explore possible questions they could answer related to the parts of an airplane and the forces of flight. This video will captivate the attention of your students because it shows an actual flying model in a barrel roll due to aileron movement. I use aileron movement as my instructional example when describing how moving parts of an airplane can help a pilot use the forces of flight to control the movement of the entire airplane. Enjoy!

Students will be challenged to review a real-world problem and create an algebraic expression related to the question. Then, solve the real-world problem using their algebraic expression they've created. This product contains the assignment page problem that can be shared digitally with students as well as a levelled rubric and levelled corrections questions that can be sent to students either on paper or digitally to help them practice the skills necessary to succeed.

This activity can easily be the theme to any Ecosystem (or species) study in any grade. Students are directed through scaffolded modules that help to guide their thinking as they explore sections of the world that interest them. Diving deeper into thoughtful research associated with species (from the exotic to the everyday domestic pet). Students will develop their own documentary to describe their journey using any tech resources they wish. The only limitation is their imagination!

This unit is an overview that guides students through how to design and complete a scientific experiment (as well as how to write a scientific report).

Students explore the history of experimentation with electricity, how circuits are constructed, and how to apply simple circuits when planning, designing, and building Derby race cars (powered by electricity).
