Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in work and machines (simple machines, levers, inclined planes, pulleys, wheel and axle, wedge, screw, force, friction, gravity, inertia) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
Students predict which balls will need the most and least blowing to begin rolling, then record observations for up to six balls on soft-to-vigorous scales. Two recording pages provide hypothesis, experiment, outcome and conclusion sections. Compare results with predictions and discuss the limits of the test: different balls vary in several properties, so these qualitative observations do not isolate the effect of weight, size or texture alone.
Hands-on STEM activity teaching how a simple magnetic compass works.
An elementary unit-study booklet teaching how circuits work (components, batteries, short circuits, functional circuits) with a hands-on short-circuit experiment, in matching student and teacher booklet versions.
Lesson 3.3 - Newton's 1st Law of Motion includes the following files: 3.3 1st Law of Motion Notes Covers the idea of inertia and gives examples of its presence in everyday life.
A hands-on science activity teaching students how magnets interact with objects and with each other, through sorting, task cards, and recording observations.
