A hands-on lab activity teaching microscope measurement concepts: image orientation/movement, using the diaphragm to control light, depth of field, magnification and field-of-view calculations, and resolving power.
Baggie Chemistry Lab | Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions Students explore chemical reactions and their resulting energy changes with this engaging baggie chemistry lab.
A multi-station high-school/middle-school physics activity that teaches uniform acceleration through hands-on experimentation, research, reading, video, and multiple-choice assessment.
Guide students through a rotating, hands-on lab-station circuit of activities covering electrical safety, atomic/electron basics, hands-on circuit building, research, and knowledge checks on current electricity and circuit diagrams.
Run a 9-station rotation lab teaching acid-base neutralization chemistry through varied hands-on, research, reading, video, and assessment formats.
Teach synthesis, decomposition, and combustion chemical reaction types through a rotating multi-station lab activity.
A 9-station rotation lab (7 activity stations + 2 rest stations) teaching single and double displacement reactions in chemistry through hands-on, research, reading, video and question-writing tasks.
Put scientific-method ideas into practice by comparing how much water different paper towels absorb. Students plan a controlled comparison, record measurements, calculate averages and use a graph to support their conclusion. Student notes and matched completed slides introduce variables and hypotheses beforehand, while an extension sheet suggests changing the liquid or measuring absorption time for a later investigation.
A 9-station chemistry lab-rotation activity teaching the mole and Avogadro's number, molar mass, and stoichiometry calculations for middle/high school chemistry.
A 9-station hands-on lab rotation teaching density and buoyancy concepts (mass, volume, density calculation, buoyant force, and why objects float or sink) for grades 7-10 science classrooms.
The M&M activity connects a color-count investigation with graphing and a results write-up. A companion lesson introduces the scientific-method steps through student slides and a completed teacher version. Provide the sample materials and model recording data before groups compare their findings.
Soda Pop Preferences - Scientific Method Lesson Included This engaging activity introduces students to the scientific method through an experiment involving their favorite soda pops. Students will form a hypothesis about which soda flavor they think will be most popular among their classmates.
Provide a multi-resource bundle teaching the scientific method (the eight steps: questioning, controlling variables, hypothesis, planning, performing, observing, analyzing, discussing) through slide-based lessons and hands-on lab/project activities.
A guided-inquiry lab in which students design and run an experiment testing how a human-caused factor affects a small ecosystem, then write a formal lab report.
Problem-based learning (PBL) activity where students design and run an experiment (dropping a ball onto a target) to practice the scientific method, data analysis (mean, mode, standard deviation), and evidence-based argument writing.
An inquiry-based lab experiment ("Eco-bottle Lab") that has students design and run a controlled experiment testing how a human-caused factor (e.g., fertilizer, pesticide, road salt, acid rain, oil) affects a terrestrial/aquatic ecosystem, then write a formal lab report.
Engage students with static electricity/electrostatics concepts through a rotating 9-station hands-on lab activity.
A 9-station physics lab activity on light refraction (Snell's Law) for a self-directed 30-45 minute lesson: a reading passage, station cards, a lab passport/answer booklet, a video-response worksheet, a knowledge-check quiz, and bonus word scramble/word search.
A multi-station physics lab activity teaching projectile motion (initial velocity, launch angle) through hands-on measurement, research, reading, and knowledge-check stations built around a catapult/paper-football theme.
Bundle of 6 simple hands-on science investigations for practicing the scientific method (hypothesis, variables, data collection, analysis).
Acids, Bases, and Neutralization - Lesson Bundle An invaluable resource for educators seeking to introduce middle school and lower-level high school students to the concepts of acids, bases, and neutralization reactions.
Aluminum Foil Boat STEM Challenge for High School Students. My Aluminum Foil Boat Challenge is an excellent way to get your students' excited for STEM in an engaging hands-on way.
Explore our cosmic neighborhood by immersing students in the fascinating world of asteroids, comets, and meteors. This complete 5E lesson bundle contains everything needed to teach middle or high schoolers about these rocky remnants from…
Balloon-Powered Rocket STEM Challenge for High School Students. My Balloon-Powered Rocket Challenge is an excellent way to get your students' excited for STEM in an engaging hands-on way.
