Electrical Circuit Arcade Games STRUCTURED STEM PROJECT with Rubrics, Check-ins
Teach electricity while adding structure and assessment to your ELECTRIC CIRCUIT ARCADE GAMES engineering project! (MS-PS2-3, MS-PS2-5). Using electricity to build games can be so much fun and students learn about circuits, insulators and conductors, and the strength of electric forces as they create. In all of the excitement it can be easy for the students to lose their focus so I have created a more structured approach to the engineering process.The students start out with a brainstorming sess

You Wind Some You Lose Some Project
This is a fabulous project from a project-based learning school used in our 9th grade Physics class, but adaptable for middle school science classes as well. As our first 6-week project, we learned about controlled experiments and renewable energy transfers using wind turbines. This is an excellent way to incorporate the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (the project was showcased at a NSTA conference). Students designed their own wooden blades which were then laser-cut and assembled on w

Popcorn Scientific Method Summative Lab
Finished with the scientific method unit and want to do a project? This is an awesome lab that students love to do so get ready for your room to smell like popcorn the next few days! This really gets students to think critically by applying what they learned to design their own lab, and allows them to practice writing which I know is always a heavy concern. This is also a great product to get students prepared for writing lab reports which will carry over to college!

STEM - CATAPULT - Force and Momentum
The aftereffects of the recent intergalactic war has left the earth damaged but not defeated. Our engineers were successful in building a tower tall enough for earths mightiest ape. However, after the last spaceship exploded, and the entire human race celebrated, our ally never came down from his tower.To make it worse, he has begun attacking us! He demands to be made king of earth, and we must now find a way to topple the tower we once proudly erected!

simple machine project
This is a pre engineering project about simple machines which make a complex machine. This shows you how to build each type of the simple machines. A lot of photos to let you see how to make them. It has a Rubric also. This takes about 2 weeks of class time and teaches terms like transfer of energy, gravitational energy, direction, force, mass, etc.. There is prep for this lesson because of the inexpensive material that will need to be gathered. I have taught this for 7 years in my classes

Claim Evidence Reasoning CER | Checklist Format Scoring Guide
This is a sample Claim Evidence and Reasoning checklist Scoring guide that is simple and easy to use. It is part of the Inquiry Lab Claim, Evidence & Reasoning handout --An easy to use resource every science teacher should have in their NGSS toolkit! The scoring guide / rubric (included in this sample) is specifically designed to be a simple 12-point yes/no checklist with little room for grey area (because I've spent my fair share of time on weekends grading labs).

Bioinspired Design: Looking to Biology for Better Solutions
Are you looking for a design thinking challenge that bridges biology and engineering? Are you tired of design challenges that lack scientific rigor? Look no further! In this design challenge, students will identify a problem with an existing product and investigate biological functions to inspire a product redesign. Through independent research using AI bots and scholarly sources, students will gain a new perspective on STEM, biology, and the human interface between.

"Electric Circuits" HS Physics - Two Lectures - Distance Learning
These are notes I used in a High School, trig-based, honors Physics class. The notes are for Chapter 22 on Current Electricity & Chapter 23 on Series & Parallel Circuits in "Glencoe Physics: Principles and Problems", copyright 2005 (I didn't like the changes in the newer versions). The 86 PowerPoint slides cover electric currents, Ohms Law, power, series and parallel circuits, and finding equivalent resistances for combined circuits. They are completely editable. The notes have suggestio
