Exploring Earth's Magnetic Magic: Reading Passage and Experiment
Overview: This resource combines a reading passage with a hands-on experiment, allowing students to grasp the concept of magnetism and Earth's magnetic field in a fun and interactive way.
Key Concepts Covered:
In this physics experiment, we will investigate and compare the traction of different shoes on a flat surface. By measuring the static friction and the coefficient of gravity, we aim to determine which shoe provides the best traction. Students conduct the experiment and draw a conclusion based on the collected data.
A Google Doc link is provided in case you want to modify or share the lab with your students.
This is the rubric I use to grade each student's science experiment that they present to the class.
If you are a science teacher and don't have a water rocket lab, you should begin. This experiment is the highlight of our year. This is a doc for a higher-end physics class and contains math calculations. Students have restrictions as to rocket design. We launch twice. On the first day we build and launch and calculate distances. The next day we do the say, but his time they should be making repairs to see if they can get it to fly further.
Egg drop competition instructions and material list. It contains follow up questions.
This is a scientific method lab sheet geared to merge a science experiment with grammar by using complete sentences.
Bill Nye said about the Joy of Discovery is awesome. It is the joy of discovery that makes every human being a scientist. We explore, test, hypothesize and form conclusions. Watch this video with your students to see if they agree with what was said. The images and videos attached to this video are beautiful.
Steve Spangler does a great job presenting videos and experiments for kids. Here is a video and his website. In this video he demonstrates how to create square bubbles.
This NASA video describes how the Wright Brothers used the scientific inquiry in learning to fly. It will demonstrate how their first plane worked. It discusses pitch, yaw, and roll.
Discusses how scientists go through the Scientific Method and Processes to experiment ideas, thoughts, notions and observations. Great video.
