Physical Science

In this hands-on lesson, students will carry out an investigation to gather evidence to determine whether a change is chemical or physical. This lesson concludes with a pixel art activity.

In this lesson, students will carry out an investigation to discover how increasing the mass of an object will affect its motion. Then, they will design their own investigation to discover how

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

In this lesson, students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator. Next, they graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their

Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy

In this hands-on lesson, students explore engineering and art as they use the same materials as the three little pigs to create a structure that would survive the blowing of a wolf (fan). Students

This lesson is designed for Day 3. Students use outside resources to modify and test helmet effectiveness with Pocketlab sensors. In this hands-on lesson, students will create a prototype and run

This is a fun and engaging lesson where students work individually, or with a partner, to build a treehouse. Creativity and collaboration among students in my 4th grade STEAM Club were evident in the

Students will learn the principles of flight while also incorporating the Engineer Design Process as they construct gliders using pressed Styrofoam. In this hands-on lesson, students read a book about
