STEM Space Moon Crater Design Challenge (Engineering Design Process)
Can your team of astronauts work together to land a rover in the center of a crater on the Moon? This engaging STEM challenge is a fun way to incorporate the engineering design process into your classroom or afterschool program! Students use the engineering design process and explore the forces of motion to place a ball in a cup at the center of a 6 foot diameter circle without entering the circle. This challenge represents placing a NASA rover into the middle of the Apollo lunar crater for expl

High School Halloween Lesson!!!---Pumpkin Pi Math Lab
BEST HALLOWEEN MATH LESSON!I can hardly put this lesson into words! It is that good! I created this lesson years ago, and it evolves year after year. This lesson takes an investigative approach to math! Students work in groups to take measurements of pumpkins and hypothesize about the volume. The STEM investigation has students reason through the value of Pi and what the ratio represents. The lesson concludes with a discussion and conclusion page allowing students to make sense of volume and the

Discovering the Area of a Circle Activity
I give each student one half sheet with the instructions and 2 circles. The instructions advise the students to cut out the left circle into 8 sectors and shape their sectors into a parallelogram. Before the next step, we discuss as a class what the formula is for finding the area of a parallelogram and how we can use that to derive the formula for the area of a circle. My 7th graders usually spend about 20 minutes on this activity. They will need prior knowledge of the circumference formulas an

Float your Own Boat Displacement Lab
This is a tested and established classic lab activity. Students will explore density, volume and mass with this lab. Build your own boat with tin foil, or expand by 3D printing a final design in TinkerCAD!Your class will have fun working in pairs to make a boat out of tin foil that floats as many marbles as possible. They will then explore buoyancy, density, mass and volume as they complete the lab. This includes calculation problems for volume and density.EASEL ACTIVITY: You can now assign thi

Discovering Pi
In this dynamic student activity, participants explore the enigma of pi through hands-on engagement with circular objects. Armed with measuring tools, students meticulously measure the diameters and circumferences of assorted circular items, compiling their findings into a detailed table. Then they calculate the ratio of circumference to diameter for each object, identifying patterns and inconsistencies. Collaboratively, they compute the average ratio, providing an approximation of pi based on t

Pumpkin Roll Math Lab
Want to get outside and investigate pumpkins?
Real-life application of skills are really important to students making connections to math skills in the classroom. This lab covers both math and science skills of circumference, diameter, rotations and density. It does require an outdoor space such as a blacktop or track or a long hallway.
* I did not buy the pumpkins that I used. I sent out an email to parents and told kids about it in class. All pumpkins used were donated!
