Heat Energy Save Our Snowman STEM Engineering Activity Google Slideshow
Want a lesson that is laid out for you step by step on the smartboard? This is a guided lesson that will take you from start to finish as you teach your students all about heat energy and measuring the volume of a liquid. The big engineering question you will assign your students is, "Can you make a house that will insulate your "snowman" ice cube from the heat so he won’t melt?" This will all take place after you brainstorm and discuss insulators and conductors. Each slide tells you and the stu

Science - Quantitative and Qualitative Observation Worksheet
This worksheet is designed to help students differentiate between qualitative and quantitative observations. There is a place to record the qualitative observations that students make using the five senses as well as a place to record the quantitative observations using more formal data. Students are also asked to record what tool was used to gather the quantitative data. This is a great activity for students first learning about scientific inquiry and practicing how to make observations and gat

Activity Estimation+Skill Building Measure Using Triple Beam Balance or Scale
This stand alone ACTIVITY#3 of 6 gives students practice with estimation-and is useful skill building using a triple beam balance as a measuring tool. It can be used as an exploration, simple lab, experiment, or activity and can be altered for your use. The teacher provides each group with a container of different items (not specific-use what you have available) on their table. Together, they will choose one or more items from the container to estimate (guess) which item(s) might be closest to

Pumpkin Investigation (3.MD.A.2)
In this activity, students use a pumpkin to apply math and science skills while having fun and getting a little dirty. I had a variety of scales (balance, digital, spring) and measuring containers available, as well as butcher paper to keep our work areas clean. Students were working in pairs with small ‘pumpkin pie’ pumpkins, but it could work whole group, small group, or even individually! Lastly, for safety, I precut all pumpkins before students arrived.
