Students will explore our Solar System using an online simulation. Students will collect data based on distance from the sun, rotational period, orbital period, and average temperature of each planet. Students will then answer analysis questions based on the data they collected.

Students will complete an online lab about static electricity, construct an electroscope, and design and conduct and experiment using their electroscopes. This is a fun way to kick start a unit centered around static electricity. My students really enjoyed constructing these and seeing how they worked.

Students will create a never before heard of creature and determine where that creature belongs in an ecosystem and how it interacts with other organisms within that ecosystem. Includes project instructions and grading rubric - both editable for your convenience.

Powerpoint covers thermal energy transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) thermal expansion and contraction, and thermal insulators and conductors.

Students choose a biome to research and create a travel guide for. My students made webpages and blogs, but this project could easily be done by just creating a brochure or book. Includes a project instructions and grading rubric

Students will measure distance and displacement using google maps! Both digital and print version available

This digital activity has students exploring physics from around the world with this interactive Google Slides! Physics problems focus on kinematics, forces, and energy! Great of review or even a sub day! Answer sheet and answer key provided!

Based on the climograph of a mystery location, students investigate which location best fits with the climograph.

Students solve various equation based problems relating to momentum and collisions in order to discover a hidden message!

Students solve physics problems dealing with momentum, impulse, inelastic, and elastic collisions. Instead of letters, the numbers fit together in a crossword puzzle. Great for review! My AP Physics students loved this activity. Includes answer key!

Students explore the amount of freshwater available for use by humans and design a product or solution to the scarcity of freshwater experienced by locations around the globe. This activity utilizes the STEM design cycle (Empathy, Ideate, Prototype, Feedback, Reflect, and Create). Students explore reasons why a place lacks freshwater (geography, politics, etc.) and have to design a product or solution that fits the needs and culture of a particular location. I took the project one step further

This webquest covers... - Composition of the Atmosphere - Layers of the Atmosphere - Temperature vs. Altitude of the different layers - Graphing!

Students will observe the growth of 9 bean sprout labs under 3 unique conditions that they choose. They will write a formal lab report at the end. Students learn about: The Scientific Method Experimental Design Making and recording observations Taking measurements Calculating averages Organizing data in graphs and tables Dependent and independent variables I give them the bean sprouts and basic materials, if they want to get fancy they need to bring in their own materials. Includes project ins

A hyperdoc that guides students' learning, starting from the basics of gravity, to how gravitational forces change based on the size and mass of celestial bodies. Document download is a PDF, which includes a link to an editable Google doc. You will want to create your own links for the Answer Garden and Padlet Prompts so that you can access your students responses. Includes: Videos Reading AnswerGarden Prompts Padlet Prompts Gravitational Force Interactive

In this project students design a Rube Goldberg machine. Students must include information about simple machines used, and types of energy transfer that occurs within their designs. Before starting we watched a few video examples of Rube Goldberg machines. Due to lack of materials, my students were not able to actually build their machines, but we did design scale models on poster board. But you could certainly add that as a part of the project.

Each student gets a famous scientist card, however they cannot look at it.They must rely on others in class to answer yes or no questions about their scientist. Each card includes a few helpful hints. I always have them introduce themselves before they ask questions. Students may tape their cards to their head or simply hold it. This is a great first-day activity! My students were really into it. Includes famous scientists, mathematicians, and inventors! Even some fun fictional ones! This is

Students compare the parts of an electrical circuit to systems and processes that they experience in real life, and then create a visual comparison (poster). For example, I had students compare the parts of an electrical circuit to parts of the brain, the hallway at school, the grocery store, etc.

Students solve each problem involving kinematic equations. Each question number corresponds to a square on the puzzle. In order for students to solve the puzzle, they must figure out which letter, displayed on answer cards around the classroom, corresponds to the question number. When the entire puzzle is solved, students will revel a science pun! Students are able to practice solving kinematic equations, self check, and get up and moving around the classroom! Teacher Prep involves making st

For this project, students choose to redesign their current school or create a whole new one and then create a scale blueprint of their design. The focus of this project is on redesigning a school to promote sustainability. Students are encouraged to use alternative energy sources, sustainable building materials, and create a sustainable school culture. Students also utilize aspects of engineering and other CTE or design classes. I used this project as an end of the year project with my STEM Ear

A quick guide for students as they practice solving kinematic formulas. Includes: Basic kinematic formulasAdvanced kinematic formulasVectors/Scalar QuantitiesExample Problems with answers
