Density of Liquids Lab and Rubric (Mass, Float, Sink, Buoyancy) Word and PDF
This activity is always a hit with the students, and I love it, too. It is an excellent demonstration of the density of liquids and how density affects buoyancy. Students will calculate the densities of five liquids and then hypothesize what will happen when they are poured together and then what will happen when they are mixed. This activity uses readily-available liquids and a couple drops of food coloring to distinguish the liquids.
To begin, explain that you will be investigating various l

Simple Machine Survivor (Performance task and Rubric)
This is a performance task in which students recognize items as simple machines and use them to survive on an island.
During a trip to a tropical island, the students' teacher is thrown overboard in a storm, and has only left the shipwrecked students a "big box of simple machines." Students are also given a number of resources on the island from which they can meet their basic needs of food, water, and shelter. The students will write a paragraph explaining how they will use the items left be

Work Lab and Rubric (F=MxA, Newton's 2nd Law, Laws of Motion) Word and PDF files
This short activity can be done using any classroom books of which you have 5 per group. The main point of discussion after the activity is the real world application and assessment of "work." Is it actually the same amount of perceived work to lift one book five times as it is to lift all five at once? What if five books were too heavy to lift?
This is another activity that lends itself to being repeated at home with your student's family. This way they can reinforce the concepts through teach

Conductivity Lab, Conductors, Insulators, Resistors, Circuits (Word and PDF )
At the beginning of every unit on electricity, it helps to discuss conductivity. This is a great lab for letting students investigate the differences between conductors and insulators. If you are able to extract a thick pencil lead, students can even observe a resistor (the graphite of the lead conducts electricity, with increasing resistance as the distance between the test leads increases).
