Heat Energy Save Our Snowman STEM Engineering Activity Google Slideshow
Want a lesson that is laid out for you step by step on the smartboard? This is a guided lesson that will take you from start to finish as you teach your students all about heat energy and measuring the volume of a liquid. The big engineering question you will assign your students is, "Can you make a house that will insulate your "snowman" ice cube from the heat so he won’t melt?" This will all take place after you brainstorm and discuss insulators and conductors. Each slide tells you and the stu

Experiment Lab Report - Grades 3&4
I developed this resource as part of a multi-age science class taught for home school students. The students kept a lab journal (I would usually make copies of the procedures and they would glue them in their journals, until their writing skills improved) and would write down observations and conclusions as we worked. I encouraged them to draw diagrams of the experiments.
In this project, students pick ONE of the labs we did in a unit and write up a "formal" lab report. The zip file includes:

Going Bananas With Measuring
Let's go bananas with measuring length and mass using standard and non-standard units. Bananas are easy to purchase and make excellent objects to measure and compare. Reading selections provide background information about bananas. Follow up question pages are differentiated for two levels of learners. Experiments range from easy counting to using calculators to find averages and percent. Compare mass of banana with other objects on balance scales, use non-standard units to determine length

What is Energy?
What is energy? Let's watch a YouTube video explaining the transfer of energy from potential to kinetic. Once students understand the terms energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and work, they decide what experiment they wish to perform in order to explain how energy transfers from potential to kinetic.A student's Wow! moment comes from actually experiencing the learning process. In this inquiry based lesson, students get to explore the concepts presented on their own rather than just being

Forms of Potential Energy
What are the forms of potential energy?When we understand that there is potential and kinetic energy, we ask ourselves, "Are there different forms of potential and kinetic energy?" This lesson introduces four forms of potential energy and explains three of them in depth. The fourth, nuclear energy, is a concept for high school. The three that are taught are mechanical energy, gravitational energy, and chemical energy. Students watch a video created by "Let's Do Learning" and demonstrate their un
