A complete 5E-model science lesson bundle teaching middle/high school students how organisms evolve physical and behavioral adaptations to increase their chances of survival.
Conservation of Energy Culminating PBL: An Enriching Resource for Physics Students Conservation of Energy Culminating PBL is an immersive resource that drives high school physics students to explore the crucial concept of Conservation of…
Let students dive deep into the concepts of density and buoyancy with this interactive 5E lesson bundle. Hands-on lab stations allow exploration of sinking, floating and Archimedes’ principle through building models and designing “boats”.
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.
Engage students in the science behind how we generate electricity with this interactive 5E lesson bundle. Hands-on lab stations allow exploration of renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower, as well as nonrenewables like fossil…
A multi-day high school physics introduction to forces, covering the four fundamental forces (gravitational, strong nuclear, electromagnetic, weak nuclear), everyday contact forces (normal force, friction, tension), and an accompanying acceleration-due-to-gravity inquiry lab.
Leonardo da Vinci: Flight Mini Unit is a 9-page download that will teach your readers about da Vinci and his relationship with air travel. A word search and student activity are included.

Lesson 10.3 - Electromagnetic Spectrum This comprehensive teaching resource, Lesson 10.3 - Electromagnetic Spectrum, is an invaluable tool for educators aiming to facilitate engaging and thorough exploration of physics- specifically the…
Marshmallow Catapult STEM Challenge for High School Students. My Marshmallow Catapult Challenge is an excellent way to get your students' excited for STEM in an engaging hands-on way.
A senior high school chemistry lesson teaching how to name ionic compounds and multivalent (transition metal) compounds, including ionic bonding, the criss-cross rule, and the classical naming system, delivered via a teacher/student slide presentation with supporting labs and handouts.
Paddle Boat STEM Challenge for High School Students. My Paddle Boat Challenge is an excellent way to get your students' excited for STEM in an engaging hands-on way. It also is a great way to introduce them to the world of engineering.
Pasta Tower STEM Challenge for High School Students. My Pasta Tower Challenge is an excellent way to get your students' excited for STEM in an engaging hands-on way. It also is a great way to introduce them to the world of engineering.
I designed this activity to bring physics concepts to life through active learning as I've found this is the best way to engage your students and keep them interested.
Set up a rotation that moves students among short tasks about properties of matter. Activities include describing a drawing, researching, reading about combustion, responding to a video, and creating questions of their own. Students record their work in a shared passport. Two stations provide catch-up time, and the teacher materials include setup guidance and answers for selected tasks.
A multi-station physics lab activity teaching the concept of power (including horsepower, work, and energy efficiency) through 9 rotating stations combining hands-on measurement, research, video analysis, reading, and knowledge checks.
A senior (high school) chemistry lesson teaching how to prepare solutions of a given molar concentration using volumetric flasks, and how to dilute concentrated stock solutions using the M1V1=M2V2 relationship.
A multi-chapter STEM curriculum pack teaching the physics and engineering behind renewable energy technologies (solar, wind, hydro/ocean, and likely more) so students can approach energy design challenges like engineers.
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…
Straw Tower STEM Challenge for High School Students. My Straw Tower Challenge is an excellent way to get your students' excited for STEM in an engaging hands-on way. It also is a great way to introduce them to the world of engineering.
A 370-page environmental science textbook/handbook for grades 6-12 covering environmental science fundamentals, energy concepts, renewable energy technologies (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass, ocean), energy storage and grid systems, project planning, and environmental impact measurement, including DIY project instructions.
This scavenger hunt guides students to research key facts about the history, technology, and innovations related to wind energy usage and storage.
