Pumpkin Science {Physical Science Investigation}
This resource is an engaging and effective way to integrate a fun fall twist into your Science curriculum. I created this resource to use in my 4th Grade classroom during our Physical Science Unit. We used pumpkins to discover, study, and discuss physical properties of matter. We then continued our study into physical vs. chemical changes. This investigation can last between 1-10 days (or more), depending on how you structure the activities. We used small pumpkins to investigate the physical

Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Rotational Inertia of a Roll Of Masking Tape Lab - Honors or AP Physics
Determining the Rotational Inertia of a Roll of Masking TapeThis activity is designed for Honors or Advanced Placement Physics and can be done with nothing more than ordinary lab equipment - meter sticks, a balance, and an inclined plane (I use foam core science fair boards) and slow motion video capture software. I use Technique Hudl as an app. It’s free, easy to learn and collects data beautifully but you can use any slo-motion app you'd like or even use a stop watch though your data won't be
