Claim, Evidence and Reasoning (C.E.R.) Rubric NGSS
This is a rubric that is specifically design for CER's. In next generation science and now in general, science is all about CER's. The student creates a claim based on observations. Then collects evidence to collaborate claim. Finally, the student uses scientific concepts, theories, and laws to reason why his/her claim is a valid claim. Please see my 3 C.E.R. specific tests.

Electrical Circuit Arcade Games STRUCTURED STEM PROJECT with Rubrics, Check-ins
Teach electricity while adding structure and assessment to your ELECTRIC CIRCUIT ARCADE GAMES engineering project! (MS-PS2-3, MS-PS2-5). Using electricity to build games can be so much fun and students learn about circuits, insulators and conductors, and the strength of electric forces as they create. In all of the excitement it can be easy for the students to lose their focus so I have created a more structured approach to the engineering process.The students start out with a brainstorming sess

Bundled Physics Scavenger Hunts
If you’d like your students to see the physics around them, take advantage of those irritating cell phones and have them take photographs of physics phenomena. This is my new favorite thing because my students now see the world differently.
Students work in a cooperative group to photograph specific physics phenomena. They’ll surprise you with their cleverness and what they’ve learned. Get ready to be impressed! This package includes 5 scavenger hunts: simple machines, momentum, electrici

Gravitational Forces Claim Evidence and Reasoning Assessment
This is an assessment for the NGSS Standard MS-PS2-4, gravitational forces. Students are asked to construct and present arguments about gravitational forces. What's better than a CER for that task?? Included in this download are two different CER tasks, one asking about the different masses of planets, one about the different distances between the planets. All of the information is presented through a diagram for students to use as their evidence. And all of the reasoning comes from any notes or

You Wind Some You Lose Some Project
This is a fabulous project from a project-based learning school used in our 9th grade Physics class, but adaptable for middle school science classes as well. As our first 6-week project, we learned about controlled experiments and renewable energy transfers using wind turbines. This is an excellent way to incorporate the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (the project was showcased at a NSTA conference). Students designed their own wooden blades which were then laser-cut and assembled on w

Physics Newton's Balloon Cars
This is a project my students get excited for every year! Students will create a working balloon car to go at least 5 meters. Oh yeah, they build it with junk! Popular items include cardboard, Kleenex boxes, and empty water bottles. I allow students to bring items from home they might need or take their car home to work on it if they need to use a table saw (some items can be hard to cut with scissors). Feel free to add a "price" for each item to create a STEM Bank. Rubric is included! With a 50

simple machine project
This is a pre engineering project about simple machines which make a complex machine. This shows you how to build each type of the simple machines. A lot of photos to let you see how to make them. It has a Rubric also. This takes about 2 weeks of class time and teaches terms like transfer of energy, gravitational energy, direction, force, mass, etc.. There is prep for this lesson because of the inexpensive material that will need to be gathered. I have taught this for 7 years in my classes

Force and Motion Project- Teach a Science Lesson Student Driven Assessment
A great way to get kids to dive deeper into force and motion topics is to have them become teachers themselves. Included is the project description with a list of topics that I used for the kids. The kids need to use all 3 main types of learning. Auditory, visual, and tactile, so they need to come up with fun activities for the whole class to do. This is a great project if you have a really creative group! I allow them to partner up (with a partner of my choice) or let them work alone, but that
