Paper Helicopter Activity - Air Resistance, Freefall - Physics

Created by

Dunigan Science

This is my version of the paper helicopters you can find in paper airplane books. I love making these sorts of things. My question was, how can I turn this into an inquiry based activity? Students make five sizes of paper helicopters, collect the fall time and approximate spin rate and make two graphs to determine the effect of helicopter length on fall time. If you have access to a strobe light, you might even try measuring the spin rate! You can use these for many levels of students and in

Graduated Cylinders - Measuring the Volume of a Liquid Assessment

Created by

Science Girl Lessons

Having a hard time finding assessments for measuring the volume of a liquid? I always pair this assessment with real, hands-on practice in the classroom. I’ve also used it to introduce this topic with the assessment first so the students know how to read the graduated cylinders before you give them one with water in it. This product features 5 different gradients of graduated cylinders (i.e. some go up by 10s, others by 100s or 50s). There are 6 questions per page and an answer document that goe

This product makes learning about density and buoyancy fun and it’s a great challenge that the kids really get into! It’s easy prep and the only materials you need are about $1.50 in pennies per group, an approximately 20x15cm piece of aluminum foil and a bucket full of water. I show a quick clip from YouTube about how the titanic sank in terms of density and buoyancy. Then we discuss as a class how adding pennies to an aluminum foil boat is like the Titanic taking on water after it hit the iceb
