How far could you jump on other planets?
This is a short and fun lab for kids to determine how far they would be able to jump on other planets due to gravity. It includes a hypothesis as well as conclusion questions for kids to complete. If you wanted to stretch it out a bit, you could have kids do 3 trials and find their average before calculating their new jump distance. You could also find class average or have kids graph their data. Hope you enjoy!

High Roller - Unit Rate Lab
The main focus of this task is calculating unit rates, but I turned it into a lab to give students the opportunity to think like scientists. You can shorten it and give more distinct parameters to fit your classroom. I left some of it open for students to explore and explain for themselves. Enjoy!
