Measuring the mass, volume, and density of a student! NGSS SEP aligned This activity is highly engaging and one that students will remember for many years. Students (who choose) will have their volume measured by water displacement, their mass...

These two investigations (GOOGLE and PDF versions) allow students to develop an understanding of the relationship between kinetic energy and mass of an object, and kinetic energy and speed of an object. As students are collecting their...

Investigating density to find the main metal in U.S. pennies. MS PS1-2 CER SE These engaging activities (Word and PDF versions) allow students to gain a greater understanding of what density is and how it can be used to identify materials. A...

This highly engaging engineering and design project (GOOGLE and PDF versions) allows students to design and construct a simple thermal solar panel, which they will then perform tests on to maximize thermal energy transfer. The...

This highly engaging engineering and design project allows students to gain a greater understanding of why we need to build space stations that can withstand collisions. The students first learn about crumple zones and why they are helpful in a...
