Energy Webquest
In this self-directed and interactive webquest, students conduct an in-depth research exploration about energy! It starts with an overview of "energy" and the law of conservation of energy in order to build a conceptual understanding of energy and energy transformations. It then moves into exploring the different forms of energy through interactives: potential, gravitational, kinetic, chemical, electrical, mechanical, etc. It then moves into the different types of energy transfer: electrical, t

Robotics Survey
This Robotics Survey was designed to give teachers insight about the students in their robotics class or club.
***Great item to add to your teacher evaluation portfolio!
This survey can be used as a pre-/post- evaluation, or a simple way to get to know where your students.
For my own classes, I uploaded the questions to a survey generator online, then provided students the link. I did this at the beginning and end of the school year.
This survey gave me immediate feedback on the skill

Middle School Science, Physical Science, Density Cube Inquiry Lab
In the Middle School Science [or Physical Science] Density Cube Inquiry Lab - The volume of objects can be determined either by measuring dimensions or by using the displacement method, where the water's rise indicates volume. Density, reflecting mass per unit volume, influences buoyancy: objects lighter than displaced water float, while heavier ones sink. In a lab exploring these principles, students observe how varying masses of identical-sized objects affect their densities and buoyancy, pote

Conservation of Mass Lab
The law of conservation of mass indicates that mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Using vinegar, baking soda and a sealed plastic bag, students determine the mass of the vinegar and baking soda. Students then seal the vinegar and baking soda in a plastic bag and mix the substances. Students will determine the mass before and after any reaction occurs.
This lab includes a two-part procedure: open vs closed system, a list of materials, conclusion questions and an ANSWER KEY!

Overview of Simple Machines
This 2 page informational article explains simple machines in a kid-friendly way. As a second grade teacher, I am required to introduce simple machines to create the foundation for learning them in later grades. Our science textbook does not contain any information on simple machines so I created this article for my class. I used information from Scholastic.
