Designing a Roller Coaster using the Law of Conservation of Energy

In this great hands on activity students will need to follow the Law of Conservation of Energy to create blueprints to their own roller coaster. The students will need to calculate the over all mass, height, PE and KE of their roller coaster at various spots long it's path while keeping in mind their linear blueprints must be to scale, in color and very accurate. This document has everything you need to help your students master these skills. All you need to do is help your students bring the

This lab is a guided inquiry lab where students learn how to take experimental data and verify an existing equation. The only materials needed are a piece of sting, a mass (anything), a place to hang a pendulum from and a stopwatch (I use cell phones). This lab take about 1.5 hours and requires a lot of critical thinking on the students part. The lab forces the student to examine the equation, figure out which variables they can measure (independent and dependent) and then use algebra to rea

Engineer a Seed Watcher- Biology, STEM, Tropisms, Botany

Looking to throw some more engineering into your Biology, Life Science, or Botany class? Here is the perfect opportunity!This project requires students to design and build a "seed watcher" capable of watching a pea (or whatever plant you want) seed grow for a week. The catch is that the seed watcher needs to be "flippable"--after a week, students turn the seed watcher upside-down and watch what happens to the shoots/roots. It's a great way to study gravitropism! My students LOVED this project a
