With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into separate groups, and move around the room in stations to test and observe different substances chemically react and change into new substances. Special demonstrations done by the teacher are suggested and links for directions for these demonstrations are within the PowerPoint. The Power Point and write-up encourages students to bet

With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into pairs or individually, build their spool racer and observe how the device works (kinetic and potential energy) while measuring and recording distance and time to calculate speed. The Power Point and write-up encourages students to better understand the scientific method and prepare for future grade levels in which writing up a lab

With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, each student will be given the materials needed and can construct the button spinner individually. After construction and use, the students will answer the questions in the hand-out and what is left in the power point. This lab helps students to better understand the concepts of kinetic and potential energy that can exist within a device. The Power Poi

With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into separate groups, and move around the room in stations to test and observe different objects and the ways their energy begins and and ends to make the device work. The Power Point and write-up encourages students to better understand the scientific method and prepare for future grade levels in which writing up a lab is expected. Req

With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into separate groups, and move around the room in stations to test and observe different objects' physical properties to identify them as an element, compound, or mixture. The Power Point and write-up encourages students to better understand the scientific method and prepare for future grade levels in which writing up a lab is expected.

This lab will help students to better understand the scale of the solar system. Many students have the misconception that the planets are the same distance from one another! They're not! This lab also shows students just how small the Sun could appear to be from another planet's perspective. With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into separate groups, and move into the hallw

With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into separate groups, and move around the room in stations to test and observe different elements' physical properties. The Power Point and write-up encourages students to better understand the scientific method and prepare for future grade levels in which writing up a lab is expected. Required materials: Aluminum (can), Lead (fishing w

With this lab activity, students will first use the Power Point to start their 'lab write-up'. When the written portion of their lab is complete, they will break into separate groups and use a triple beam balance and cubes of 'unknown' material to calculate their densities. The Power Point and write-up encourages students to better understand the scientific method and prepare for future grade levels in which writing up a lab is expected. Required materials: Density Cubes and Triple Beam Balance
