This lab activity is a fun way to learn about Potential and Kinetic Energy and how to calculate them. This lab involves building a "rollercoaster" using foam tubing and marbles. Students start by designing a rollercoaster, building it, and then collect data that will help them determine the potential and kinetic energy of the marble at various points on the rollercoaster. All you need is some foam tubing (pool noodles cut in half), marbles, stop watch, meter stick (or ruler) and tape.

This is an easy, fun way to learn about Buoyancy and Archimedes Principle. Students use a "boat" to see how much mass it can hold while submerged in water. Students form a hypothesis, collect data, make observations, and write a conclusion of their findings. Materials needed include a plastic container (Tupperware, food containers, etc.), a larger container to hold water, and quarters.

This lab is a fun way to teach Bernoulli's principle with airplanes. Students build paper airplanes, collect data, and modify their designs while they learn about Bernoulli's Principle.

This activity is a fun variation of the classic game Telestrations that focuses on helping students learn about writing lab procedures in a specific and concise way. This activity is a great way to enhance your scientific method unit while talking about the experimentation process.

This is a classroom activity that is a great compliment to your meiosis notes. Students cutouts pictures of meiosis and place them in the corresponding table and write descriptions of what is happening during each phase of meiosis I and meiosis II. Scissors and glue are needed for this activity.

Measurement Detectives makes taking lab measurements fun! Students will learn how to take accurate measurements for length, mass, and volume. The goal of the lab is to figure out which 3 objects caused "the accident" based on their measurements.

In this lab activity, students will learn about the power of cohesion in a fun, simple lab. Students will follow the scientific method by investigating how many drops of water can a penny hold.
