Discovering Pi
In this dynamic student activity, participants explore the enigma of pi through hands-on engagement with circular objects. Armed with measuring tools, students meticulously measure the diameters and circumferences of assorted circular items, compiling their findings into a detailed table. Then they calculate the ratio of circumference to diameter for each object, identifying patterns and inconsistencies. Collaboratively, they compute the average ratio, providing an approximation of pi based on t

Cone Zone: A Comprehensive S.T.E.A.M. Activity
Students will design a cone-shaped descent chute for a planetary landing craft to optimize stability and minimize speed in this engaging lesson. This activity lends itself to student scientists of many ages. Young learners will benefit from simply creating the cones and testing their effectiveness. Older students can use spreadsheets that they create to analyze the data on a much more sophisticated level.

Volume Lab
Students rotate around 9 stations. The students will measure the dimensions of various objects and calculate their volume. Students will use a ruler, metric stick, yarn or string, and a graduated cylinder. Some of the shapes include a sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism, and an irregularly-shaped object. This lab prepares the students for the Density of 4 Mystery Metals Lab.

8th grade Task Rotation for Fractions and Volume
This is a task rotation for my intro chapter to 8th grade math. I do a combination of fractions and geometry formulas. Give each station roughly 10 minutes to work on each problem. For station 3 it might help to pre tape the two cylinders to cut down on that time for students and to give them more time to work.
