Watch students overcome struggles of lining up dominoes in order to see how much energy is carried by small dominoes and large dominoes. This lab does require two sizes of blocks and two balls of different weight (I used a squishy ball and a Styrofoam ball). Students analyze how far the two balls were pushed based upon the size of the dominoes and how a large mass will carry more energy.

Students utilize their teamwork, engineering, creative, and analysis skills in this 3 day lab. Two days of building and testing and one day for analysis, graphing and conclusion. Students have a menu they can follow so they can get the grade they want. More features = a better grade, however any attempt allows them to pass. Hands on way to visualize energy flow and an even better way to figure out WHY the ball needs to be going a certain speed in order to complete the features.

Students will adjust the speed and mass of a hot wheel's car in order to show how speed or mass affects the force a moving object has on a stationary object. Students utilize teamwork skills, following a procedure, and data taking skills to complete this lab. Graphing, conclusion, and analysis questions included. **Answer key included also

Student focused, middle school level article along with prezi links, simulators, and mini labs. This ONE lesson will incorporate electric, magnetic, and electric fields to complete the NGSS science standard for forces and fields. See my review game and assessment for a complete unit.

Students use dental wax and hot water to analyze various spoons. This lab connects conductors, insulators, and conduction. Students analyze what they discovered through answering questions, drawing, and utilizing real life situations.

Finish up your forces and field unit with a quick review game. Questions focus on magnetic, gravitational, and electric fields. Answers are given to each question.
