Making Science Fun

In this project, teacher will need a green screen, a green sheet or even lime green poster boards on 1 wall of classroom. If your school has a painted green wall or a green screen room, that is great! Students will be using a device of some sort with a free greenscreen app called VeeScope.

Easy and free lab activity! All you need is rubber bands, rulers and tape measure is optional. Great lab for elementary, middle or high school. Teacher guidance heavy in elementary, light for middle school, and facilitation only for high school. Students will discover the effect of elastic potential energy on kinetic energy by pulling a rubber band back to different lengths and letting it go to see that EPE transfer to Kinetic energy. Ground rules I use in my classroom are to have all rubber ban

What size parachute has the longest flight time? Easy to do experiment for grades 4th to 9th. Help students apply their knowledge of the scientific method to this experiment. Recommendation is to spend one day (50-55 mins) on making the parachutes and spend day two testing the parachutes. I put my kids in groups of 4 students and each student made a parachute of a different size. Students will identify the purpose/question, create a hypothesis, identify variables (independent, dependent and co

This outlines what each paragraph in this 5 paragraph essay assignment should include. Elastic Potential Energy, Gravitational P.E, Law of Conservation of En- and careers that involve energy. Also includes extra credit opportunities to include the equations for EPE and GPE. Students can write essay in notebook using notes/resources/computer lab. Or, students can submit essay via google classroom or canvas. Page 1 is the essay instructions Page 2-3 is a paper saver to print instructions on 1/2 sh
