Spider Parachute Halloween STEM Activity
Design a parachute to save a spider! This is a fun Halloween STEM activity that your students will love with a version for distance learning! When some spiders are born, they make parachutes out of their silk in order to safely drop from their mother’s web. They release a few strands of silk that form a triangular-shaped parachute that catches the breeze and lifts them in the air! But in our challenge today, one of the baby spiders is unable to deploy their parachute and needs your help to get d

Balloon Rocket Lab Investigation: Newton's Laws of Motion
Students who have been exposed to the Newton's Laws of Motion will love this interactive lab! This lab requires students to analyze what they already know about Newton's Laws and apply them to this lab investigation. As always, I try to have my students have a part in the decision process of the lab activity. By deciding on the independent variable of this activity, they test their ability to use what they have learned to predict the outcome of the activity. A proper use of the Scientific Method

PHET Circuit Simulation Worksheet
Using the PHET simulator on building circuits and need a worksheet to go with it? This is the one! In this activity, students will learn how to make parallel and series circuits, how to draw circuit diagrams and discuss the relationship between current, voltage, and power. I used this when I INTRODUCED circuits and circuit drawings to my students, so they were learning as they went! The first sheet was my introduction to the lesson. I had students draw two circuits, and then we discussed the dif

Candy Geology activity
This activity allows students to explore the career of an exploration geologist, specifically how they must often make estimates based on field work to recommend mine placement for the recovery of economic minerals. This activity uses candy to simulate the "hidden" ore minerals - I have designed this for use with fun-sized packages of M&Ms, but it could be modified for use with any assorted colorful candy. The important part is that the students cannot see the candy for the first step of the

Modeling Using Contour Lines
Students can use this hands-on activity to help them understand maps and more specifically contour lines. Students will be able to work independently to create a model of a mountain using the concept of contour lines. The independent aspect of this activity allows students to be creative and use their imagination to initially create a 2D drawing of their mountain and to ultimately create a 3D rendering of the mountain they created in their mind.
