Tides Lab Using Water Balloons - Hands On Experience That Kids LOVE!
This lab is a really fun way to use discovery and investigation to teach students how gravity and inertia cause tides, along with the moon. The cost is low (a package of water balloons and yarn) and it is a great activity to get kids moving and outside. They work in small groups and go through a series of steps and procedures and record data. This was one of the most fun labs of the year for students and was instrumental is having kids understand why we have high tides on the side of the Earth c

Build an Atom goes with FREE simulator at pHet-Distance Learning
After 16 years of teaching this is the BEST way I have found to teach students the basics of an atom! It is totally self directed using a very intuitive simulator. This worksheet in part is avalible for free at the pHet website but I have edited it over the last 3 years I have used it for clarity for my students and to reinforce key points. This includes a 4 page activity to go with the simulator and a 2 page follow up quiz. Also includes a answer key for all pages.

PhET Reactants and Products Student Handout, NGSS MS-PS1-2 Aligned
This is a student handout to go along with the PhET simulation Reactants and Products. This activity is geared toward middle school students, and was designed alongside the NGSS benchmark: PS1-2. For that reason, the activity gets students to the understanding that chemical reactions occur when molecules rearrange into new combinations, but it does not focus on the "leftovers."

Egg Drop Virtual Lab
The Egg Drop Virtual Lab is a great introduction to the engineering design process. Students can select materials and test different designs to see how best to protect their egg from cracking. This is a worksheet for data collection and analysis based on a web-based simulation which can be found at this url: https://www.healthinteractives.studio/bydesign/egg-drop/I created this resource during virtual learning, but I think it can be a very useful lesson for a sub plan, a rained-out egg drop

Elements, Mixtures, Compounds Lab
This lab is a GREAT way for students to visualize elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students will investigate a few numbered dishes, each that has a specific combination of nuts, bolts, and washers assembled or not assembled to represent chemical bonds. Students then investigate the contents of the dish, and determine if the dish best represents an element, mixture, compound, or mixture of compounds, or mixture of compounds and elements. The end of the activity has a great follow up with though
