Balloon Rocket Lab Investigation: Newton's Laws of Motion
Students who have been exposed to the Newton's Laws of Motion will love this interactive lab! This lab requires students to analyze what they already know about Newton's Laws and apply them to this lab investigation. As always, I try to have my students have a part in the decision process of the lab activity. By deciding on the independent variable of this activity, they test their ability to use what they have learned to predict the outcome of the activity. A proper use of the Scientific Method

Chemistry Lab: Exothermic and Endothermic Chemical Reactions Experiment
In this lab students measure the temperature change during two chemical reactions - one exothermic, and one endothermic. Students investigate the relationship between heat flow and temperature and complete "fill in the blank" style worksheets as they progress through the lab. The end result is a complete lab report following the scientific method.This lesson is self-contained and the experiment does not require any additional planning on the teacher's part. This lab from Roots and Wings Educati

Spring Action Lab: A Bouncy and Engaging STEM Lab
Students will enjoy putting their learning to work in this engaging lab. Using springs or rubber bands, students measure and record data as they try to get a bucket to touch the floor by adding weights. Then they use their data and its graph to make predictions and write equations that will help them predict the outcomes. This simple and inexpensive lab will help your students learn graphing, t-tables, measurement, linear functions, and the physics of tension forces. This can be used as a stand-

Candy Geology activity
This activity allows students to explore the career of an exploration geologist, specifically how they must often make estimates based on field work to recommend mine placement for the recovery of economic minerals. This activity uses candy to simulate the "hidden" ore minerals - I have designed this for use with fun-sized packages of M&Ms, but it could be modified for use with any assorted colorful candy. The important part is that the students cannot see the candy for the first step of the

Modeling Using Contour Lines
Students can use this hands-on activity to help them understand maps and more specifically contour lines. Students will be able to work independently to create a model of a mountain using the concept of contour lines. The independent aspect of this activity allows students to be creative and use their imagination to initially create a 2D drawing of their mountain and to ultimately create a 3D rendering of the mountain they created in their mind.
