Spring Action Lab: A Bouncy and Engaging STEM Lab
Students will enjoy putting their learning to work in this engaging lab. Using springs or rubber bands, students measure and record data as they try to get a bucket to touch the floor by adding weights. Then they use their data and its graph to make predictions and write equations that will help them predict the outcomes. This simple and inexpensive lab will help your students learn graphing, t-tables, measurement, linear functions, and the physics of tension forces. This can be used as a stand-

SCUBA - or whatever floats your boat
Students will be introduced to ideas such as density, Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and buoyancy. They will model with mathematics, using linear equations, ratios and rates. The students will apply the ideas and physical properties to scuba diving and transfer the knowledge to explain why objects float in air. Ultimately, students will become "teachers" of the subject and will work together to create a model and poster session.
