Spider Parachute Halloween STEM Activity
Design a parachute to save a spider! This is a fun Halloween STEM activity that your students will love with a version for distance learning! When some spiders are born, they make parachutes out of their silk in order to safely drop from their mother’s web. They release a few strands of silk that form a triangular-shaped parachute that catches the breeze and lifts them in the air! But in our challenge today, one of the baby spiders is unable to deploy their parachute and needs your help to get d

Balloon Rocket Lab Investigation: Newton's Laws of Motion
Students who have been exposed to the Newton's Laws of Motion will love this interactive lab! This lab requires students to analyze what they already know about Newton's Laws and apply them to this lab investigation. As always, I try to have my students have a part in the decision process of the lab activity. By deciding on the independent variable of this activity, they test their ability to use what they have learned to predict the outcome of the activity. A proper use of the Scientific Method

Balancing Chemical Equations Manipulative Lab
If you are starting your students on chemistry, this is a great activity to teach balancing equations. It shows how matter is conserved, and is balanced on both sides of the equation. This can be done with poker chips, math manipulative, or other tools you have in house. I used some squares of construction paper for this. This lab demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass. The amount of atoms (math tiles or construction paper) that you start with equals the amount that you end with. You can a

Zombie Motion, Speed and Acceleration Physics Lab Set
Have you had days where your students seem like zombies? Why not have them act like zombies to study the physics of motion?!This lab set contains all the note sheets, labs and follow up to study speed, motion, acceleration and the start of Newton's Laws!You can change this to study the motion and force of zombies, though I did this with the physics cars I had. I also found that red, black and blue dry erase markers can be used to make a quick zombie makeup set. You can scare students or have the
