Middle School/Upper Elementary Scientific Method and STEM Fair Unit
This unit was designed as a way to incorporate STEM into a more traditional Science Fair model with connections to STEM careers. Students are encouraged to choose a topic that they are deeply interested in and they learn how to connect scientific thinking to concepts outside of science class. They are also introduced to future STEM careers and community resources. The unit is directly aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Common Core.

Accuracy vs. Precision Lab
*** All you need is a penny and a copy of this sheet for each student ***
Students practice identifying scenarios as accurate and/or/nor precise by repeatedly dropping pennies onto a target. Very easy to conduct and many possible extensions can be done with it- vary the height, change the person dropping the penny, etc. Who was most accurate? Who was most precise? Who was both? Who was neither? Create a classroom discussion of student results and attempt to identify how/why some students

I have done this lab since 2000 and it is the most memorable lab that I do. I have former students that are now adults that remember this lab. I don’t buy any of the ingredients, we discuss it days before and the students get in groups to decide who brings in what ingredients. On the day of the lab I have students bring in their materials in the morning and I have 5 different coolers for my five different periods.

Molecules Compounds NGSS PS1.A Lab Developing and Using Models
This lab will wow kids! When they dip the soap covered Q-tip in the milk and food dye it makes an amazing pattern like magic! The students have no idea why, but it engages them in a way that makes them want to know the science of why the food dye moves and creates a pattern. A major component in NGSS is using phenomena to engage kids and this lab has got it! After observing the movement of the food dye, the students create a model to try and explain why it moves.

Non-Fiction Text Features PowerPoint Review
This is a PowerPoint that reviews non-fiction text features. The PowerPoint is set up to ask "Who am I?" and the students guess before going to the next slide which reveals the answer. You can use this PowerPoint as a whole class review or set it up within a center for students to quiz themselves. I showed this review the day after my class took notes and it can be shown as a review before a test.
