Great, engaging, hands on lab that help solidify the concept speed. Students will collect data as they run hot wheels along a pre-measured distance and record the time it takes the vehicles to travel. The collected data is used to calculate speed and is compared to different hot wheels cars. There is a hypothesis to develop, four concept questions to answer per car (3 cars) that require pulling the material together then comparing data to additional data collected, and a summary/conclusion para

Great, engaging, hands on lab that help solidify concepts of force, speed and acceleration. A paper airplane’s movement and speed depends on the design as well as the amount of force used to propel the paper airplane forward. Objective: To have a paper airplane travel the longest distance. You may design your paper airplane however you wish. Somehow, you must come up with a way for your paper airplane to travel the furthest without hitting the ground using only the force you apply while thro

This is our introductory unit for our 7th grade science classes. This is a 3 week unit where we walk the students through scientific processes and how to write a scientific experimental research paper.
