Marshmallow Flight Lab
Do your students love a good competition? You might want to try this lesson titled “Marshmallow Flight.” I have used this lab with junior and high school students, but have also done a simpler version of this lab with my kindergartner.
The file contains two versions of the same lab. The first is a commonly used version in which students follow directions, collect data, and answer post-lab questions. The second version of this lab is a higher-level inquiry lab, where students move through the

Matter Calculations: Volume and Density (harder version)
In this more challenging version of the Matter and Density worksheet students distinguish between mass and weight, chemical and physical changes, density, and volume. They are then presented with different objects, weigh them, calculate their volumes, and determine their densities. They use their calculations to predict whether the objects will float in water. Given densities, students also fill in a density column.

Take Advantage of the Snow!
Snowy Science will allow your students to enjoy the snow while learning valuable science and science practices. This is not your typical snow craft! Students will engage in a series of snow experiments such as:
Why is there less snow around tree trunks (Energy Transfer)
Does Dirty Snow change differently than clean snow? (Energy Transfer)
Should Snowmen wear coats?
Should you wear a big coat or many layers?
Albedo Effect of Snow
How Much Water is in that Snow?

Engineering: Weights and Measures Conversion Tables
A weights and measures conversion table is useful when converting and calculating engineering, construction and STEM problem solving projects and activities. It helps students learn how to locate information and convert that information into their calculations. The conversion table also allows teachers to increase the rigor in their activities and problem solving projects by supplying students access to the needed information to accurately calculate a complex problem.

How Much for Those Fries? The Math in Action Series.
Ever wonder how the price at a "Fast Food" restaurant may be determined. This activity may just answer that question for you. The application of mathematical theory has always been the "when will I ever use this Real Life" attitude from our students. I created this lesson to reinforce the theory of graphing data, calculating an equation of best fit, and formulating a conclusion. Each student will be able to see the usefulness of mathematics in a Real World setting. Common core stand

Measuring Units - Science Scaffolded notes for middle school
Sized to cut and glue inside a Science Lab notebook (composition book)
We use this in our first science lesson of the year, and then in our first science lab (where we practice measuring with different tools). Students have to become very familiar with metric as well as Imperial units, and also with how metric units are mathematically connected (powers of ten). This notes page is glued inside the front cover of their lab notebook, so they can reference it throughout the year, during labs, activ

The City Water Project part 2
People in the city get their water from a water department. Where do rural people get their water? This unit discusses this. It includes two Investigations. One looks at a physical property of liquids. The other measures the mass of a drop of water. Both require reading a scale. Determining the mass requires some math. There are two pencil puzzles and a coloring page.This is the second unit of eight on water, what it is, where we get it, how we use it and dispose of it.

Science Method Searching App
This web App uses a very fun and engaging activity involving mixing three primary colors to match a given specimen of unknown mixing. The challenge is to find the combination of primary color intensities that make up the target specimen color in as few test tries as possible. It is a very simple activity; but one that can be made ever more challenging by dialing down the allowable matching error. With the introduction of an error measurement meter and mathematical methods of seeking convergence

In this class activity, students will use M&Ms to investigate the difference between experimental and theoretical probability. Each student should receive a bag with 50 M&Ms. In the first part of the activity, students calculate the experimental probability by tallying the number of times they choose each color when picking 50 times with replacement. They then count the exact number of each color to determine the theoretical probability. In part 2 of the activity, students compare t
