STEAM Challenge Week Bundle
This week of STEM is always a huge hit with my students! I created this week of activities as a challenge I made for myself back in 2015. I wanted to end the year on a fun note with my students by doing something different. I challenged myself to do a week of fun STEM activities with my students. I came up with: Army Man LaunchersNewspaper TowersPopsicle BridgesUnsinkable ShipBaby Lifejackets This packet includes a handout for each challenge as well as a teacher informational page and images of

Balloon Car - Newton's Laws of Motion at Work - Physics Project
This lab is super inexpensive and so much fun! Students construct a “car” that runs on the power of a single balloon expelling air. Most of the materials are scavenged – water bottles, bottle caps, straws, etc. The activity takes 120 minutes including testing, data collection, and completing the lab questions for the easier version ad 150 minutes for the advanced version. This is real science with real calculations.

Limiting Reagent Stoichiometry S'mores Lab
This is one of my students favorite labs year after year! The lab is a simple activity that has students count and determine the limiting reagent for their S'mores.I have the students work out the pre-lab before they are able to make S'mores. Then we light the Bunsen burners and get started! (You could also do this lab without heating the S'mores)The file includes a cover page, student lab page with pre-lab and post-lab questions, key with answers and work, and example of student poster.If you e

Significant Digits Popcorn Lab/Activity
When my students struggled with accuracy and precision and just plain fought me about writing values with units and significant digits, I knew I had to do something. This activity works! When students are done, they understand why we write values the way that we do and why significant digits or figures are so important. There's some laughter too and a lot of that early in the year grumpiness vanishes.
This activity reinforces the differences between accuracy and precision and how many signif

Hurricane STEM Challenge
Your students have been hired by a local condominium company to build a new beach house that can withstand hurricane-force winds and be the most under budget. This STEM Challenge is very similar in format to the Catapult Challenge and students LOVE this lab! I usually borrow the biggest fan I can find for the hurricane portion of the challenge and I add water to the casserole pan, the student's house is in, in order to simulate a storm surge.

Terminal Velocity Low Tech Lab - Physics
When you drop an ordinary coffee filter, it quickly reaches terminal velocity due to air resistance acting on the relatively large surface area compared to the low mass. In physics ,we often ignore air resistance, but the effect can be significant. Ask anyone who’s gotten wind burn skiing, on a motorcycle, etc!
In this activity, students will determine the effect of changing mass on the terminal velocity of a falling object. Your students won’t believe how beautiful the graph is! While you
