The Ultimate Paper Airplane STEAM Project + Escape Room: 10 Day Challenge
Every year since I started teaching, I've done a paper airplane contest. When I first started around 12 years ago, it was a quick contest that lasted just an afternoon. Gradually, as my experience as an educator grew, this project began to grow into what it is today... A 10 day cross-curricular mega project! I always say that student engagement is the key to learning, and I can guarantee that your students will be engaged during these activities! They will be measuring, graphing, reading, analyz

Walk Before You Run! (Or Hop, Skip, etc…) | Speed/Motion Lab | EDITABLE
I created this assignment to use as an introductory lab when starting the motion unit of my 9th grade physical science class. It could also be a good way to review prior to a motion unit in a higher level physics class. It covers basic measurements of distance and time, and has students use those measurements to find speed using a line graph. It also reviews the concepts of accuracy and precision. There is a CER section at the end.It is a simple lab that can be performed anywhere there is room.
