Rube Goldberg simple machine project
This is a 2 page description/procedure/rubric for a Rube Goldberg project. I gave my class 2 full weeks to work on this. They are provided with minimal materials, the rest is gathered from home (recyclable materials, toys, etc..). A PowerPoint presenation accompanies the Rube Goldberg machine. My students LOVED doing this and they learned a lot about simple machines as well.

Paper Airplane Lab: Gravity and Air Resistance
This activity helps demonstrate some of the unbalanced forces, namely gravity and air resistance, that affect us every day. Students should predict why paper airplanes do not stay in the air forever. After testing their paper airplane, they should create a force diagram and answer some questions regarding these unbalanced forces.
Materials needed: paper, meter stick
Main topics: unbalanced forces, gravity, air resistance (friction).

"Inertia Games" Lab Activity - Newton's 1st Law of Motion
Students are introduced to the concept of Newton's 1st Law of Motion and inertia by completing six (6) different challenges/games in this lab activity. Example of one of the game challenges:a. Get a plastic cup, index cards, and a quarter. b. Place the index card on top of the cup so it is centered over the opening. Put the quarter on top of the index card. c. Using your finger pull the index card out from under the quarter. You are trying to get the quarter to drop into the cup. d. Compl

Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems
The Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems has questions and diagrams to really help students break down and understand the meaning of this law of interaction. In the first part, students look at simple examples to describe the action reaction force. Then, they identify the magnitude and direction of the reaction force given the magnitude and direction of the action force. Lastly, they look at several examples including a spring scale, air balloon, and car collision example to explain

Inertia Lab: Testing Newtons First Law of Motion
Students always enjoy testing inertia. This activity takes students through three activities that demonstrate Newton's First Law of Motion. Students should notice that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Materials needed: coins or washers, beaker or cup, note card, toy car.
Main topics: inertia, Newton's First Law of Motion

Kid-Friendly Version of (4 Point) Extended Response Writing Rubric
This is a kid-friendly version of the 4 point rubric utilized to score extended responses on the Common Core New York State ELA test.
I used this to help students understand what is expected of them in their extended responses. I also use the rubric to conference with students about their writing!
One suggestion of how to use this rubric is to have the students rate their own writing on the rubric. Then, separately, you score their response using the rubric. In a conference, you can compare re

Motion Graphs: Position vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time
The purpose of the Motion Graph is to help students understand an object's motion on a position versus time and velocity versus time graph. In the position vs. time activity, there are three graphs for students to describe the position and speed of the object. Students are asked to identify the axis, describe the movement of the object, and explain whether the speed was constant or changing. In the velocity vs. time activity, there are two graphs clearly labeled to help students understand th
