Engineering Design Process Template
STEM programs focus a lot of it's learning on the Engineering Design Process. This Engineering Design Process Sheet will allow students to become Engineers in the classroom. They will be able to Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve a Prototype for any Unit that they are learning about.(Made in a Microsoft Word document so that teachers can edit questions, etc.) If you would prefer an Engineering Design Process:Engineering Design Process- Digital Notebook- Click Here!

Experimental Probability Activity (dice lab)
In this activity students work with a partner to roll a pair of dice (many times) and record the sum of the dice in a data collection sheet. Once the data has been collected the students are walked through the process of calculating the experimental probability for each sum and then the theoretical probability for each sum and are asked questions about the differences they find between the values. Students also make a bar graph using the percentages for theoretical probability and can visually s

Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability
Middle Schoolers LOVE probability!
This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates.
This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measu

Theoretical vs Experimental Probability Lab (includes making predictions)
This is a fun, student-centered activity in which students working with a partner will conduct an experimental lab tossing 2 coins. After completing the lab, they will draw conclusions based upon the results of the activity concerning the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Then they use experimental probability to make predictions. I have included the lab activity, a follow-up worksheet which can be used to engage student discussion after the lab, and a worksheet for

Engineering: Straw Rockets
Straw Rockets are quick, simple and lots of fun for the students. This STEM activity takes about one hour to assemble and one hour for outside launching fun. This engineering activity can be used from grade 3 through 12. This lesson could also be used in March for Women's History Month as an activity to go along with the Sally Ride story. The headings include: Teacher Notes, Introduction, Materials, Procedure, Patterns, Pictures and Conclusion Questions.

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.

Scientific Method Inquiry Challenge-save a gummy worm w/ simple materials
This is a fabulous science inquiry activity for the first week of school. A fun, simple lab that will get your students to start "thinking like scientists". Students are challenged to save Walter the gummy worm from 'drowning'. Students work to actively solve a problem, collaborate ideas and analyze effectiveness of their solutions.
Only simple materials are used and set-up is easy.
This activity is fun for kids and fun to watch! It's amazing watching their critical thinking process.

Spring into Statistics Data Displays and Measures of Center Lab
This is a hands-on lab that teaches about Statistical Questions, Data Displays (dot/line plot, histograms, box plots) and Measures of Center (mean, median, mode, and range). The lab includes notes pages, examples with answer keys, and a final project in which the student can survey classmates and create a "flower" by using their data to find mean, median, mode, range. They will also create a box plot, histogram and dot plot.

Scatterplots Linear Regression Line of Best Fit Forearms & Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.
