__Develop a sense of what must be true for an object to be considered “in motion.”__Measure the motion of an object moving in a straight line.__Model (represent) motion in multiple ways: graph, linear equation, etc.__Relate graphing terms (slope) to the motion of the object.The student will need several meter sticks taped end to end or a cm-marked track. The student will also need a timer and a battery-powered buggy. You may want to play an online metronome that beats at 60 beats per second. Stu

__Understand and apply the difference between accuracy and precision.__Make credible (believable and convincing) measurements based on the tool given.__Understand why all measurements include estimation and doubt.__Practice measuring common objects.This lesson teaches students how to measure length and liquid volume to one doubtful place value. It also teaches the difference between accuracy and precision.

Learning Objectives:  __Develop a sense of what must be true for an object to be considered “in motion.”__Measure the motion of an object moving in a straight line.__Model (represent) motion in multiple ways.__Present our findings.Students will need a battery powered moving object. Students may not use timers or rulers. Students must measure the speed of the object without using conventional measurement tools. This lesson derives the need for standardized units. Ask each lab group to report out

Measure liquid volume from the bottom of the meniscus in a graduated cylinder using Good Science techniqueDetermine the value of one increment on a graduated cylinder or imageInterpret liquid volume from A. Graduated cylinder images B. Actual graduated cylinderswithin +/- 0.1 mL of correct valueto one doubtful (estimated) place value

Students create a paper helicopter and then conduct a simple controlled experiment in which they investigate the effect of wing folding on descent spin direction. Students work with terms like independent variable, dependent variable, repeated trials, control, constants. Students then apply this knowledge to a new scenario. Great introductory lab to teach the basics of a controlled experiment.

Deductive reasoning assessment based loosely on the Alien Periodic Table. Students examine a list of clues about fictitious elements and deductively sleuth their way to a solution. Clues are based on actual elements and their properties but names have been changed. Features: -Template -List of clues (with hints) -Answer key

A middle school-friendly comprehensive reading on gravity, mass, and weight. Features: -Breakdown of Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation -What ifs (basketball on the Moon) -Your weight on other worlds -How to alter your weight -Slam dunk contest -An exploration of relevant extension links -A Summary 321 Review Activity

This NGSS/STEM lesson allows students to explore thermal expansion. Features: -Ball and ring demo -Cause and effect analysis of the effect of heating/cooling on M, V, D -Analysis of KE change -Examples of thermal expansion -Applications: Galilean thermometer, bimetallic strip, thermostat A follow assignment is also available. This lesson stands alone, or works in sync with other lessons of Unit 2: Matter, Energy & Change.

Classroom demonstration/model in which a swinging object is analyzed in terms of kinetic energy to potential energy transfers. Concepts of friction, conservation of energy, and mechanical energy are introduced.

In this NGSS/STEM lesson, students respond to three of Page Keeley's pre-assessment probes and then conduct experiments to prove or disprove their claims. Students represent their evidence as data tables, particle models and graphs, followed by a written statement.

Three part assessment. A periodic table is provided. Part One: -Student is given a group and period (i.e. Group 2, Period 2) and is asked to identify the corresponding element as metal, nonmetal, metalloid. Student uses a periodic table. Part Two: -Characteristics of an element sample are given (i.e. dimly lights a lightbulb) and the student is asked to select whether the element could be a) metal, b) nonmetal, c) metalloid, d) metal or nonmetal, etc. Part Three: -Student is asked to name the ch

This NGSS/STEM supplement is designed to follow Lesson 3, but may also stand alone. Feature3: -Research and writing prompt on how a thermometer works. -321 Review to show understanding about thermal expansion and its applications Check out other lessons in Unit 2: Matter, Energy & Change

Students grapple with vocabulary in a personalized way. Higher DoK level thinking helps the student to summarize, synthesize, and symbolically represented a given vocabulary term. This template can be easily modified to suit your grade level and content area. Easy to use! Just add the words you want the student to learn.

In this NGSS/STEM lesson follow-up, students design particle models of ice, melting ice, and water in terms of kinetic energy, force of attraction between particles, and mass. Students then compare and contrast ice and water, and create a symbol showing that temperature does not change during a phase change, even though heat energy may be continuously added or removed.

In this NGSS/STEM lesson, students explore the mp/fp and cp/bp of various substances. Students hypothesize what state of matter various familiar materials would be at different planets, and make generalizations about the nature of matter and its properties. Students learn that substances can be defined and identified based on the unique temperatures at which they change phase.

Student is given information about a sample and is then asked to draw a model of it: Sample A has twice the mass of Sample B, but has the same volume. Draw it.
