This is a 2 page description/procedure/rubric for a Rube Goldberg project. I gave my class 2 full weeks to work on this. They are provided with minimal materials, the rest is gathered from home (recyclable materials, toys, etc..). A PowerPoint presenation accompanies the Rube Goldberg machine. My students LOVED doing this and they learned a lot about simple machines as well.

Paper Airplane Lab: Gravity and Air Resistance

Created by

This activity helps demonstrate some of the unbalanced forces, namely gravity and air resistance, that affect us every day. Students should predict why paper airplanes do not stay in the air forever. After testing their paper airplane, they should create a force diagram and answer some questions regarding these unbalanced forces. Materials needed: paper, meter stick Main topics: unbalanced forces, gravity, air resistance (friction). Quick, easy, and effective in demonstrating gravity and

Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems

Created by

The Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems has questions and diagrams to really help students break down and understand the meaning of this law of interaction. In the first part, students look at simple examples to describe the action reaction force. Then, they identify the magnitude and direction of the reaction force given the magnitude and direction of the action force. Lastly, they look at several examples including a spring scale, air balloon, and car collision example to explain

"Inertia Games" Lab Activity - Newton's 1st Law of Motion

Created by

MS Science Spot

Students are introduced to the concept of Newton's 1st Law of Motion and inertia by completing six (6) different challenges/games in this lab activity. Example of one of the game challenges:a. Get a plastic cup, index cards, and a quarter. b. Place the index card on top of the cup so it is centered over the opening. Put the quarter on top of the index card. c. Using your finger pull the index card out from under the quarter. You are trying to get the quarter to drop into the cup. d. Compl

“The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe: Setting and Tone

Created by

Rockermom's World of Literature

This is a nice “take a break from non-stop writing” sort of lesson plan, and it appeals to those future Van Gogh’s and Picassos in your classroom, as well. Using Poe’s delightfully melancholy and bizarre poem, “The Raven,” students discuss first how setting creates tone which then creates mood for the reader. It is a literary domino effect, so to speak! Reading with purpose, underline examples of descriptive words describing setting and creating tone and then students are assigned a creative

The purpose of the Motion Graph is to help students understand an object's motion on a position versus time and velocity versus time graph. In the position vs. time activity, there are three graphs for students to describe the position and speed of the object. Students are asked to identify the axis, describe the movement of the object, and explain whether the speed was constant or changing. In the velocity vs. time activity, there are two graphs clearly labeled to help students understand th
