I have been teaching science for 11 years and have been a STEM Coordinator for 9 component school districts. I am a NYS Master Teacher and serve as the intermediate level Director at Large for STANYS (Science Teacher's Association of NY State).
This activity has students look at graphs of distance, speed, and acceleration and analyze them to determine what is happening in each of the different stages. It also includes some interactive practice with determining gravity!
A hands on activity for kids to explore what materials create higher static friction, friction on a flat surface, and friction on an inclined plane. This includes teacher instructions and links to materials if you don't already have them.
This introduction to balanced and unbalanced forces will give students plenty of real-life scenarios to look at while analyzing the forces in the situations. This activity includes different drag-ables and interactive slides!
This review (or introduction) of Simple Machines will keep kids engaged and curious! Students will read (or watch--some of the clues are video clips!) the clues and select what kind of simple machine matches. The answers are color-coded to match a secret picture. Students will get to choose a theme that appeals to them to color in, increasing engagement. This can be done full on a device with no need to print and no frustrating programs to figure out how to color in--it's all contained in Google
