Spellbinding Science

Studying kinematics and looking for a transition into dynamics? This activity will nicely transition your students from thinking motion purely in terms of kinetics to incorporating dynamics as well. In this activity students will receive a car (the activity specifies a pull-back car, but the activity can be easily modified for any kind of toy car), find current average velocity, and then complete modifications to the car in an effort to increase its velocity. Materials: toy cars, meter sticks,

Take students outdoors! This activity has students collect soil samples and examine them to identify organisms that live in soil, and realize the diversity of living things, even in dirt!
