Electricity: Insulator or Conductor Lab
This hands on, interactive, extremely fun lab allows students to determine what objects conduct electricity (conductors) & which ones do not (insulators). It also drives home the concept of how a circuit is made. The materials used are household objects and the lab requires students to think critically by using higher order thinking skills all while learning about electricity! This lab sheet includes photos for students to follow, especially helpful to ESE, ELL and visual learners.

Bowling Force, Power & Work Field Trip
This worksheet accompanies your students to the bowling alley so that they can use your lessons on the physics of force, power and work in the real world. Students bring along their pencils, calculators and this worksheet for an afternoon of fun physical science work. They will definitely have a good grasp on understanding the concepts of force, work and power and probably have the formulas memorized after this trip! Also a little review of volume and density in here too.

Pumpkin Catapult Design Challenge
This fun activity is great as an extension of your energy or physics unit, or as a part of a holiday week! Students do research on what makes a good catapult, cite their sources, and then begin building. I have found that using the candy corn pumpkins and materials like spoons and popsicle sticks are the most useful rather than building a large-scale catapult for a real pumpkin.
