Food Truck Project Simulation - STEM Economics and Design
Food Truck Project may be used alternately as an independent study, for small groups, or engage the entire class in a cross-curricular simulation. All instructions are written so that students working independently may take direction on their own with minimal teacher support. Teacher notes are provided to support teachers in guiding students when needed. The Food Truck Project is presented as a series of sub-units, best used in the order they appear, but adjustable to time available by selective

Roller Coaster Investigation Handout - Kinetic and Potential Energy Analysis
This scientific investigation is geared toward a high school level investigation the of conservation of mechanical energy (Kinetic and Potential Energy), using relatively simple materials (plastic or foam tubing, marbles, stopwatches, tape). Students love creating the roller coasters and observing this relatively simple phenomena. They learn that the total energy in the system is equal to the sum of Potential and Kinetic Energy, and that energy is conserved in this system if you factor in fric

Bridge Lab
Students set up various demonstrations. They make observations, inferences and predictions based on what they see in these demonstrations. Students investigate the different types of stress, the strength factors that impact a structures design and the importance of trusses. The previews are only part of one page. The entire lab consists of 14 short demonstrations.

3 Little Pigs Earthquake Houses
This STEAM/STEM earth-shaking activity is versatile - individual students or partners; introduction or assessment; face2face or virtual; spans many grade levels. Using the children's story of the 3 Little Pigs, students are asked to engineer and design three houses to be tested in an earthquake simulation. As in the story, one house is designed to fail, one is designed to stay strong, and the last can be either a fail or a success! Students will hone their critical thinking and evaluation ski

Design and Engineer - Flood Prevention
This is a great hands-on modeling activity that introduces students to the ideas of design and engineering through the seven AP science practices. Students need to use all seven of the practices to design and engineer a prototype device used to prevent homes from flooding.
Students investigate the problem, create blueprints, and build devices using common classroom materials (straw, tape, playdough). They will then test their model by placing a book (I recommend a dictionary) on top of their
