This is a guided inquiry-based lab that investigates forces exerted on a group of student-designed and engineered "balloon cars". Each group of students is then challenged to build a "balloon car" that travels a maximum distance.
This physics activity is a projectile motion / gravity investigation where students …
This physics activity is a projectile motion / gravity investigation where students drop and shoot (horizontally) soft balls from different heights and record the time taken to hit the ground. Students make a trendline to predict the time it will take the ball to hit the ground from a certain height. Students will also discover that shot and dropped balls hit the ground at the same time.

This activity is an inquiry investigation where students manipulate a variety of objects in a variety of situations to develop an understanding of inertia.
This activity is an indoor structured inquiry lab activity where students will …
This activity is an indoor structured inquiry lab activity where students will use various types of M&Ms as a model for isotopes. Students will design a procedure to determine average atomic mass.
Short DescriptionThis activity is a field investigation where students construct a diagram …
Short DescriptionThis activity is a field investigation where students construct a diagram of a lava flow from top to bottom based on observations made in the field and then attempting to make connections between the lava flow features and the resulting shape of the shoreline of Lake Superior.
This activity is a classroom investigation where students gather descriptive data on …
This activity is a classroom investigation where students gather descriptive data on two different plants with a partner, and on other plants during a classroom discussion.They will then interpret their findings, and classify the plants, if applicable, into monocots or dicots.
You will be investigating different materials to better understand the phenomenon of …
You will be investigating different materials to better understand the phenomenon of Block A and B. In scientific experiments you can only change one variable at a time. Thankfully Hand2Mind sells a group of equal mass materials. Each of the objects shown to the right have a mass of 16.0 grams. You will use material selected from the list below to plan and conduct an investigation on different materials. The purpose of this investigation is to answer the following question:
How does the material affect the temperatures of objects as they cool or heat in the environment?
This activity is a guided inquiry laboratory in which students perform reactions …
This activity is a guided inquiry laboratory in which students perform reactions involving metals and hydrochloric acid in order to determine their activity series.
This activity is an activity where students build a motor, learn motor …
This activity is an activity where students build a motor, learn motor operation and theory, interpret their understanding through troubleshooting, and develop a new, experimental question related to the motor. One follow-up activity would be coupling their motor to a fan blade or other axle to convert electrical energy to magnetic energy into mechanical motion for real world application.
This activity is a puzzle where students organize samples and look for …
This activity is a puzzle where students organize samples and look for patterns in order to predict properties of missing puzzle pieces. The students then relate their experience to the historical development of the Periodic Table and the ways that the Periodic Table can be used to predict the properties of the elements.
This physics lab activity is an introduction to Simple Harmonic Motion, utilizing …
This physics lab activity is an introduction to Simple Harmonic Motion, utilizing the variables of mass, length, and angular displacement to determine their effect on period. Acceleration of gravity is calculated and the results of manual data collection and Vernier LabPro data collection are compared.
This is a field investigation where students will explore and observe sediments …
This is a field investigation where students will explore and observe sediments within a local gravel pit and from their observation create an investigation that will help to determine the nature of the sediments.
This activity is a project where students build a catapult and analyze …
This activity is a project where students build a catapult and analyze the energy transformations, role of Newton's Laws, and role of friction and other forces.
Students will understand that projectile motion is a result of two independent …
Students will understand that projectile motion is a result of two independent motions, horizontal and vertical by reading, problem-solving, and experimentation.
