Engage your students with this interactive and informative lab. Designed for elementary students, this lab explores the topic of how our bodies use energy to move. Perfect for science lessons, this resource will help students understand the connection between energy and physical activity. It is written at the 3rd-grade reading level.
In this sand dune activity, students will have the opportunity to explore five different types of sand dunes: barchan, parabolic, star, transverse, and longitudinal (seif).
This Sand Dune Lab worksheet offers a hands-on experience in understanding different sand dune types and their characteristics. By creating sand dune models and answering related questions, students will deepen their knowledge of these geological formations and their connection to wind patterns.
This is an interactive digital glacier lab that will help students understand what glaciers are, what some of the formations and deposits look like, and will have students explore how glaciers grow and shrink, and how scientists go about discovering glacial movement speeds over time as well as finding out how scientists come up with the numbers of how long glaciers will last at current rates. Students will actually be the scientist discovering the rate of speed as they build their own interactive glacier using Phet. You will need computers that can run Java.
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 physics lab worksheet focuses on exploring the concepts of collision and momentum using a simulation. The lab is designed to engage students by interacting with a digital simulation of two balls slamming into each other. Students will make predictions, and analyze outcomes. Students will develop a deeper understanding of momentum, velocities, and the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions. It is suitable for middle school and high school physics or physical science classes.
Students will be engaged in hands-on experimentation and discover the principles of motion and collision through a series of captivating lab exercises.
Lab Setup: To begin, set up the lab by placing one end of the track on two reading books and the other end on a pencil, creating a slanted track. The angle of the track will determine the direction of the marble movement.
In this lab, you will be exploring the organisms present in pond water. Add leaves and grasses to your pond water. Students will observe and document the organisms found in the water over a two-week period. Additionally, they will analyze the data, calculate rates of organism increase, create a function, and make predictions about future organism populations.
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 engaging educational resource will transport young minds to a prehistoric realm, allowing them to uncover the mysteries hidden within ancient tracks, fossils, and teeth.
The worksheet begins with an intriguing image, challenging young learners to identify and count the different tracks present. With a keen eye, they'll explore the possibilities and ponder the critters or machines that made these distinct imprints. By carefully listing the identified tracks, children exercise their observational skills and critical thinking abilities.
