Gravity Lab: Calculating Distance in Space
In this lab, students start by measuring how far they can jump on Earth, and then calculate how far they could jump on the different planets and Earth's moon, based on the amount of gravity present on each body. This was a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity, while also reinforcing the 6th grade math concept of division of decimals. All steps of the scientific method are included, along with a full rubric to assess students' learning.

M&M Lab for Fractions, Decimals & Percents
Lab for students to eat and learn! Students use a party size (halloween kind) bag of m&ms to calculate, convert and graph ratios, decimals and percents of each color of m&ms in the bag.
Reflection and Critical Thinking Conclusion activity included. Extension extra credit also included.
*for lower level students I add M&Ms to their bag to make 20 total since quantities per bag have lowered in recent years.

Temperature & Matter Lab- Is Gas Really Matter? With Extension
✨Have you ever felt like your students "grasp" solids, liquids, and gases are matter- they take up space and have mass? But then, you realize they say things like "I can move through gas- like it's not here! It doesn't take up space" once you start getting into deeper discussions about it? That's what this lesson was designed for- to show that gas DOES take up space (inside a balloon) and prove that gas DOES have mass using scientific and mathematical evidence! ✨ I also felt like students were t

Science Calculating Gravity Lab Activity Science Graving Calculation Gravity Lab
Easy to incorporate, all you need is a scale! With this lab students weigh four different objects and calculate their weight on the different planets. The formula for calculating weight (mass x gravity = weight) is clearly stated in the directions. Students could use a calculator, or this activity can be a great interdisciplinary/cross-curricular math activity for practicing multiplying decimals!

The Layering Tower of Density
This a great lab for 5th, 6th, or even 7th grade to perform. The lab uses different liquids and allows students to see how different substance have different densities. The lab begins by discussing the density of water and then predicting if other liquids will be less/more dense.
The practice problems review the density formula, allows them to slowly develop a formal lab report, and practice density problems on their own. Also, it allows students review subtracting decimals and answer quest

What is a Year? (Inner Planet Revolutions)
Scientific Method inquiry about the solar system/space
Students will show the distances of the inner planets from the sun compared to each other. Students will show the revolution of each planet using yarn then hang all 4 pieces next to each other to see the difference in their length. Students will come to the conclusion that planets further away from the sun have longer years because of the distance needed to travel in one revolution. The end product will be a visual of the inner planets' orb
