A middle-school Earth science lesson unit teaching how mechanical and chemical weathering shape Earth's surface, combining readings, vocabulary, and a hands-on lab.
Multi-station hands-on lab activity teaching solar and lunar eclipses.
A hands-on STEM engineering design challenge in which student groups build a device from limited materials to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped, then reflect on and extend the engineering/physics concepts involved.
Energy and its forms – Lab Station Activity is an immersive learning experience designed to demystify the complex world of energy, its types, sources, and transformations.
Provide a comprehensive Grade 5-8 unit on energy, covering what energy is and its major forms, through reading comprehension passages, hands-on activities, and review/assessment materials organized by Bloom's Taxonomy levels.
Heat Transfer Science Lab is an engaging hands-on science activity focused on endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions. Students in grades 6-8 follow procedures to combine various household substances and document detailed…
This 2-DAY lesson and lab package on How Planes and Other Aircraft Fly begins with a look at the aerodynamic forces which affect flight - Thrust, Drag, Lift and Weight. It then looks at takeoffs, level flight, banking, and landings.
The physical properties of a substance such as appearance, melting point, solubility in water, and conductivity of a dissolved solution tell us a lot about the type of particles in a compound. In this experiment, students will conduct tests on the physical properties of different compounds and compile data enabling them to classify the…

Scientific Method - Lab Station Activity This lab station activity allows students to apply their understanding of the scientific method by moving around the classroom and working with peers. Stations focus on creating hypotheses and procedures, identifying variables, analyzing data and drawing conclusions, and formulating testable…
teaches basic Mendelian genetics concepts (dominant/recessive alleles, genotype, phenotype, homozygous/heterozygous) through a coin-flip snowman-building activity
Give teams fifty straws and one hundred paper clips to design the tallest freestanding tower they can build within the challenge rules. Students sketch a plan, build, test a 100 g load for thirty seconds, then refine the structure and reflect on stability and teamwork. Teacher guidance, a blueprint page and a science briefing support the lesson, with extension questions connecting classroom designs to larger engineering problems.
