Students will learn how to read a solubility curve chart and practice determining the solubility of different solutes as well as calculating the amount necessary for saturation. The assignment is multiple choice but requires students to use a significant amount of critical thinking. Great for classwork or homework. The answer key is ba
This virtual gas laws lab is a Google Form in which students visit another website that has a gas laws simulator (See preview picture). Students manipulate the volume, temperature, and pressure of a gas in order to reach conclusions and answer questions. Students will learn about Charles's law, Boyle's law, and Avagadro's law. This lab is easily downloaded and integrated into your Google classroom for a 30-40 minute activity / interactive lab on gas laws. There are four sections to this Google f
This interactive lab requires students to visit a youtube video where they can find data to calculate the speed and velocities of different vehicles. Students then must record both the time and distance that the vehicle travels in order to calculate the speed. The second part of the video students are given a compass rose in order to determine the velocity of vehicles. Finally, students are asked several questions about speed and velocity as well as an opportunity to graph the motion of a moving
Print and go. No prep required. This lab requires students to use an online Phet interactive where students are able to manipulate the mass, friction, and height of a skateboarder and then make conclusions about potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, and thermal energy. This is also a great introduction to the law of conservation of energy. The lab consists of 10 thought-provoking questions, some that are multiple choice, and some that are short response. An answer key is attached
This Google form lab instructs students to interact with the Rutherford Scattering Phet simulation. Students will read a brief introduction about the plum pudding model of the atom and Earnest Rutherford's gold foil experiment. Then students will answer 15 thought provoking questions on the Google form. The answer key is imbedded in the Google form. Quickly and easily add this Google form to your Google classroom. This assignment takes students 20-30 minutes. Your review is greatly appreciated!
This worksheet is great practice for calculating net force. There are 12 different free body diagrams in which students must calculate the net force OR calculate the missing force after having been given the net force. Answer key is included.

This is a simple lab that teaches students what isotopes are. Students use balances or scales and 3 different varieties of M & M's (any three varieties will work) to identify differences in isotopes. The lab is followed by 10 questions about atoms and isotopes. This lab is fun effective way to teach about atoms, elements, and the periodic chart. An answer key makes up the last page of this document Check out my other super helpful science resources:Science Inquiry and Safety- Lab Safety- Scien
No prep needed! This Google form integrates perfectly into Google classroom with an answer key already baked in. This assignment has 4 different sections, each with a different distance time graph. Students are asked between four and six questions per graph. Questions ask students to interpret the speed, distance, and time from the graphs given. This makes for a great practice or reinforcement after students learn about graphing motion. Did you know TPT offerers credits for your review of a pro
In this lab students will use plastic cups and M & M candies to discover how the half lives of radioactive elements work. Students can work in groups or individually. This is a great activity to use in conjunction with learning about radio activity, isotopes, radiometric dating, and fossils. Includes full answer key and hints and tips for a successful lab experience.

Graphing motion can be tricky. This interactive assignment directs students to a website with 12 different motion graphs. Students must move a stick figure man to match the motion on the graph then answer question on the provided lab guide. My students love this activity and I love this activity because my students build understanding of how motion is graphed. This is a great classroom activity that requires access to the internet and a computing device. Check out my store for TONS of other gre
This Google form quickly and easily integrates into your Google classroom. This assignment has two parts. Part 1 included eight different pictures in which students must identify the type of heat transfer taking place. The second section has 15 questions with written scenarios of heat transfer. The student must then select whether the writtens statement describes conduction, convection, or radiation. The answer key is built in and grades itself in seconds. - 22 questions about convection, conduc
Speed vs. time graphs and distance vs. time graphs can be really tricky for students. This Google form integrates into your Google classroom seamlessly and easily. Students will have one section where students are given a brief statement like, "An airplane taking off" and they must match the distance time graph that best represents the motion. The second section contains similar questions where students must match the best speed time graph that represents the motion. This assignment is simple, b
Are your students struggling to understand the differences between pure substances, mixtures, elements and compounds? This simple yet effective graphic organizer is in the form of a Word doc and is entirely editable. Your students will have to cut out the vocabulary terms and past them into the correct location on the graphic organizer. You'll see lots of "light bulb" moments when students realize how matter is organized. This activity has an answer key included and is great as a classroom assi
This lab is a GREAT way for students to visualize elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students will investigate a few numbered dishes, each that has a specific combination of nuts, bolts, and washers assembled or not assembled to represent chemical bonds. Students then investigate the contents of the dish, and determine if the dish best represents an element, mixture, compound, or mixture of compounds, or mixture of compounds and elements. The end of the activity has a great follow up with though
