Grades:
6th - 9th
Types:
Scientific Method Smartboard Lesson
Students learn the steps of the scientific method with a hypothetical or real lab of crickets and temperature.
Subjects:
Grades:
5th - 7th
Rocket Fuel Laboratory
Students determine the optimum ratio of water to air for propulsion of a balloon "rocket". Supplies needed are a balloon, water, stopwatch, and a measuring cup/graduated cylinder.
Grades:
7th - 12th
Types:
Dunlop Drop: A Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Laboratory
Students determine how height of fall affects average speed. Optional graphing of the data produces a nice acceleration curve for the resulting distance vs. time graph. Supplies needed are a tennis ball, stopwatch, and a meterstick.

Grades:
7th - 10th
Types:
Speedy Cars: A Speed and Velocity Laboratory
Students calculate the speed of cars as they pass the school. Lab can be done from the inside of a chain-link fence that borders a street. A diagram is included on slide 3 of the set-up. Supplies needed are access to a fence that borders a road, stopwatch, and metersticks.
Grades:
7th - 10th
Types:
Biology Depth Perception Laboratory
Students compare depth perception on the dominant and non or co-dominant eye. Supplies needed are pennies (or other uniformly-sized small items, such as beads) and a stopwatch.
Subjects:
Grades:
6th - 9th
Types:
Buoyancy Laboratory
Students explore the force of buoyancy on a submerged mass. Supplies needed are water, a container, a mass set, and spring scale/Newton meter.
Grades:
7th - 10th
Types:
SMART Equal Volume different Mass
Objects that take up the same space but have different masses have a greater density. Here is a ready to use SMARTBoard lesson on density, volume, and mass. Lab activity included that can be used with the SMARTBoard.
