This zip file contains several activities (86 pages of student handouts and 1 PowerPoint with a total of 52 slides) which can be used to compose a unit for physics students involving topics relating to work, power and energy. Topics in this unit include...

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...

This highly engaging activity (Google and PDF versions) using agar cubes (representing cells) explains why we are made up of trillions of cells and not just one big cell. The diffusion of “food” moving into the agar “cells” is...

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...

These lessons are some of our favorites!  They are all classroom tested and ready for immediate implementation.  Within this series of highly engaging lessons, you will find embedded formative assessments and content rich activities which...

This highly engaging engineering and design project (GOOGLE and PDF versions) allows students to gain a greater understanding of how a parachute works to slow down an object. This project has many options offered to teachers depending...

This is an assessment (Google and PDF versions) to evaluate the students’ understanding of the NGSS standard MS- LS1-2 This is an engaging activity in which students connect their understanding of the functions of the cell organelles...

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...

Perfect activity to get your science students creative for any festivities or classroom décor! Print out the templates, get the scissors, tape, turn on the jams and let the kids get in their creative science flow!   This activity does...

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...
