PhEt Law of Conservation of Energy Skate park BASIC webquest
This is a great webquest activity for introducing the law of conservation of energy.Phet.edu is a great source of simulations for all fields of math and science. For this sim you will go to Energy Skate Park BASIC.You should spend some time playing around with the site before using it. You must also make sure your school's firewall will allow you to use HTML5 or Java applets. PHET.EDU MAY NOT WORK ON iPad!!! Please check with your IT department or run Phet.edu BEFORE purchasing this file!!! You

7 Years Later: How Does 3D Printing Filament Last Outdoors?
7 Years ago I started a experiment to see how 3D printing materials last outdoors. This is important as some filaments claim to be biodegradable. Other materials are popular to use outside for gardening projects or other uses. After 7 years of exposure in the Colorado weather, I had to retire this experiment. This report highlights each filament material from PLA, PETG, TPU and other interesting filaments!The companion YT video is now up HERE. You can have your STEM class test this further with

Experimental Design Practice: 4 Experiment Analysis
In this assignment, students mark the text to identify experimental design elements such as independent variable and control group. Then, students analyze the experiments by answering some critical thinking questions. Next, they pick an experiment and create a sample data chart for the experiment. If students have received instruction on experimental design, this activity could be used as a checkpoint assessment or a sub plan.

Walking Dead Water Filter Lab
With shows like "The Walking Dead" and others, students are interested in how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. One thing they will need is an improvised water filter to clean dirty water. This type of water filter was seen in a episode of "The Walking Dead". It's also featured in survival shows. You will need plastic water bottles, sand, gravel, coffee filters, marbles, and any other medium you think can be used to filter water. I do NOT recommend using charcoal or ash, because when wet they ar

Experimental Design Sample: Analysis + Improvement
In this activity, students analyze an experiment. They identify experimental features such as independent variable and control group. Then, they analyze the experiment by answering deeper questions. Finally, they sketch the procedure with an improvement of their choice. If students have received instruction on experimental design, this activity could be used as a checkpoint assessment or a sub plan.

Experimental Design Practice: Add A Control Group
This practice sheet has 4 sample experiment descriptions. For each description, students add a control group. This could be used as a sub plan, and assessment, or a differentiation activity for students who understand other components of experimental design but struggle with the concept of a control group.

Earthquake Building Lab w Flat Rate Boxes
This lab uses FREE small USPS flat rate boxes to model buildings in a earthquake zone. You can pick them up for FREE from your local post office, or have them delivered in bulk to your school. Challenge your students to produce buildings that would withstand more earthquake forces. You can also have your students use TinkerCAD to model their home. Your students then modify their building to withstand a greater magnitude earthquake. You can expand this into a building project like the toothpick b
