Spring Action Lab: A Bouncy and Engaging STEM Lab
Students will enjoy putting their learning to work in this engaging lab. Using springs or rubber bands, students measure and record data as they try to get a bucket to touch the floor by adding weights. Then they use their data and its graph to make predictions and write equations that will help them predict the outcomes. This simple and inexpensive lab will help your students learn graphing, t-tables, measurement, linear functions, and the physics of tension forces. This can be used as a stand-

Tracking Hurricane Sandy!
This 6 page lab activity will help students remember where hurricanes form and why. The lab explores the differences and similarities between Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. Students will practice their skill of plotting using latitude and longitude as they plot the tracks of both. The Saffir-Simpson scale will be used as students analyze data from both storms. Students will plot pressure vs. wind speed to understand the relationship and answer questions based on the data and general h

SCUBA - or whatever floats your boat
Students will be introduced to ideas such as density, Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and buoyancy. They will model with mathematics, using linear equations, ratios and rates. The students will apply the ideas and physical properties to scuba diving and transfer the knowledge to explain why objects float in air. Ultimately, students will become "teachers" of the subject and will work together to create a model and poster session.
