Don't Spill a Drop - students are challenged with preserving as much of a single water sample as they can, while transferring it from group to group via measuring cylinders. They will learn to read the water level and weigh the mass of the water. This lab prac introduces students to a formal scientific Method, measuring liquids using measuring cylinders and electronic balances, recording individual and class results, generating a data analysis graph (fully scaffolded) and data outliers. Includ

This lab experiment comes in 2 parts. Part 1 - Learning how to calibrate an alcohol thermometer with boil water. Part 2 - Determining if different volumes of water take different lengths of time to boil. Prior knowledge require - how to safely operate a Bunsen Burner.Includes:An introduction to temperature and how it's measured, as well as the concept of a Scientific Constant. Health and Safety Section (student generated)Step by step method for both Part 1 and Part 2 (including diagram)Introd

Use this interactive worksheet to get students thinking about their actions in the laboratory. Students read through the examples, discuss with a peer, and then decide if the action is a "good" or "bad" idea in the lab. They are also prompted to write a description of a likely consequence for each action example. Australian english language conventions used.

This set of worksheets includes an introduction to measuring in light years and minutes, a short starter activity (naming the equipment and identifying the correct unit of measurement), and a full experiment write-up with Results Table and Discussion Questions (focused on comparing designs with the rest of the class). Students will work in groups to design, create and test a paper plane. They will first create 3-5 prototype planes, test for flight distance, and then complete final testing with

This set of worksheets includes an introduction to measuring in light years and minutes, a short starter activity (naming the equipment and identifying the correct unit of measurement), and a full experiment write-up with Results Table (calculating averages) and Discussion Questions (focused on comparing variables between 2 students throwing the same plane). Students will work in groups to design, create and test a paper plane. They will first create 3-5 prototype planes, test for flight distan
