Background: Over the past two weeks we have studied Newton’s Laws and completed various experiments. Students will conduct a controlled experiment. Early in the 20th century, the physicist Robert Goddard proposed that rockets would someday be sent to the moon. He met strong opposition from people who thought that such a feat was impossible. They thought that a rocket could not work unless it had air to push against. The purpose of this lab is to investigate the action-reaction relationship throu

*****Requires a skeletal system model to construct. Modification- Can use paper cut outs of skeletal systems and tape/glue parts together. I have also included digital resources below. Objectives: · Identify and distinguish characteristics of the major bones in the skeletal system · Create a full human skeleton with the supplied bones. · Collaborate with your group members to build your human skeletal model. Procedure: 1. In this lab you are required to identify the bones listed on the ch

Objectives: Students will make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. Students will conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in a new substance. Materials needed:Sodium Polyacrylate (Fake Snow), Graduated cylinder, Triple beam balance, Eyedropper, Tap Water, Ziploc bag to store, Cup, Ruler, Steve Splanger Video clipThings to know:Fake snow can be purchased at many locations Steve Splanger, Amazon, Dollar

Background: A cell is the basic unit of living things. It is the smallest unit of life. Basic understanding of unicellular vs. multi-cellular. Knowledge of structure and functions of cell organelles. Molecules are constantly moving. They move in a straight line unless deflected by other molecules. Diffusion is the process by which the collisions between molecules cause them to continually spread apart from each other. Their overall movement can therefore be described as movement from an area of

Objective: You will engineer an index card tower that will support a weighted block. Group Goal: Work together to engineer the tallest Earthquake-Resistant building. (See group roles) Materials: index cards, scissors, straws (optional- tape) Procedure: · Ask & Imagine- Collaborate with your group members to design an Earthquake-resistant building. · Plan- Draft out your design in the space below. · Create- Use the materials provided to create the tallest tower. · Experiment- Let’s test it

2 Labs included: (Both can be modified- If there is no access to a Density Kit replace with random items in classroom or at home.) Lab #1: Skills Practice Lab: Select 10 items found in this classroom. Find mass using the Triple Beam Balance. Include units. Lab #2: Measuring Matter Lab You will practice using the Triple Beam Balance to find the mass of different material density cubes. You will use a ruler to calculate volume of different cubes. You will use the density formula to calculate the d

**Measurement tool required - ruler/yard stick/meter stick. (Meter/Yard Stick Preferred) Nervous System – Reaction Time - In this experiment you will be measuring your reaction time when presented with visual, auditory and tactile stimulation. Because the distance an object falls is a function of time, you can measure the distance the meter stick drops and use this to calculate your reaction time.

Standards: MS-LS1-1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Objectives: · I can properly handle a compound light microscope. I can determine the total magnification of the microscope. I can properly use a compound light microscope:o I can use my microscopy skills to observe body system cellular specimens, draw and describe how structure

· NGSS: MS-LS1.1 Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Objectives:· Students should demonstrate work habits that ensure personal safety and the safety of others. · Students should demonstrate proper use and care of the microscope to observe the general structure of cells. · Students will prepare a wet mount and view specimen at various levels of magnification, identify and compare major st
