Creating a Catapult: Accuracy and Precision Lab
This Creating a Catapult: Accuracy and Precision Lab falls under the "Big Idea" of Force and Motion. Its focus is on Accuracy and Precision. Students create a catapult and test it by launching a "pom-pom" toward a target. They measure the distance from its landing to the bulls eye of the target. After at least 5 trials, the students then make adjustments to their catapult to try to "calibrate" it to be more accurate and precise. After the "launch sequence," students answer questions about wh

Walking Dead Water Filter Lab
With shows like "The Walking Dead" and others, students are interested in how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. One thing they will need is an improvised water filter to clean dirty water. This type of water filter was seen in a episode of "The Walking Dead". It's also featured in survival shows. You will need plastic water bottles, sand, gravel, coffee filters, marbles, and any other medium you think can be used to filter water. I do NOT recommend using charcoal or ash, because when wet they ar

"Are Ya Ready?" Incredibly Fun Buoyancy Lab! - {Editable}
This lab is so much fun! If your students are learning about buoyancy (which can be perfectly tied into your density unit), this lab is the absolute best way to go! Students build three small boats (out of just one incredibly common material you have already), find the mass and volume of the boats, and then see how much mass can be added before the boat sinks! The instructions and feedback questions for this lab are very easy for students to understand, so your job is to just enjoy watching yo

Squishy Circuits Electronics Lab Set
Squishy Circuits are a fun way for you to explore electricity by making your own conductive & insulating dough. I wrote this lab for high school students, and you can expand this lab with other electrical kits. You can also make the electronic parts with salvaged motors and battery holders, or buy kits from Squishy Circuits.I found that the 10 mm LED's used for this are fragile, so you can 3D print a LED holder using this package to make the LED's last and be easier to handle!
