Rube Goldberg simple machine project
This is a 2 page description/procedure/rubric for a Rube Goldberg project. I gave my class 2 full weeks to work on this. They are provided with minimal materials, the rest is gathered from home (recyclable materials, toys, etc..). A PowerPoint presenation accompanies the Rube Goldberg machine. My students LOVED doing this and they learned a lot about simple machines as well.

Slow Can Race STEM Forces in Motion Activity/ Experiment: Creating Friction
This interactive STEM activity is always a highlight of my forces and motion unit! This activity is perfect to reinforce the concepts of forces and friction. Students need to cover or wrap a regular can in different materials to se how they affect the speed a can can travel down a ramp. Students experiment to see how friction affects motion. Set the stage by building up the idea that this is a race- THEN explain that the SLOWEST can is the winner! Students often wrap all kinds of materials
