Physical Science

Students will use engineering practices to build a bridge to see how much weight their bridge will support. This lesson gives students a better understanding of how bridges are constructed and how

In this engaging lesson, students measure throw-ins and convert their data to meters by dividing by 100. They will evaluate measurement systems and decide the best measurement size. You will need

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

This lesson teaches students about lines, angles, measuring and naming angles, using a protractor, and engages students by having them build a catapult and measure best angle for furthest launch.

Who said candy?! In this hands-on lesson, students create rock candy using hot water and Kool-Aid flavoring. They will mix materials together and observe their creation.

Summary: This lesson uses the children's picture book Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty and can easily be adapted for any grade level. Students will listen to the story of Rosie Revere and

In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on. The goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to explain the

In this unit, students will study the effects of atmospheric pressure and air resistance on objects to engineer a landing apparatus to land cargo in space. They will then write a Claim based on

This lesson plan is written for 7th grade science but can be modified to be used with any age group. Students will create petri dishes and will collect samples from bathrooms. Students will then
