Rube Goldberg STRUCTURED STEM PROJECT with ASSESSMENT Rubrics Energy Transfer
Add structure and assessment to your fun Rube Goldberg, critical thinking engineering project during a forces/motion and simple machines unit discussing the change in kinetic energy as it is transferred from one object to another. Low prep and super fun end of year project based learning! During all of the designing 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 s

Distance Learning: Waves in the Real World Presentations Project
The purpose of this project is to challenge students to make connections between longitudinal and transverse waves and their real-life applications. This project is a great extension after a unit on light vs. sound waves, wave characteristics, etc. that will get students building relevance and understanding on their content knowledge. They get to be the scientists, researchers, and hone in on an essential real-world skill: public speaking! This project challenges students to think outside the bo

Roller Coaster Physics Project - Forces and Motion
This is an exciting culminating project I use after completing our unit on Forces and Motion. With this project, students research the design of a roller coaster, design their own roller coaster, and make it come to life in class! For the construction, all you need is gray pipe insulation - cut in half, duct tape, and marbles. A rubric is included to help guide students so they'll know what is expected of them. There are guided steps to ensure students are including (and labeling) the forces
