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

Density Logic Puzzle
This activity is a fun way for students to practice basic density calculations (p=m/v) while building in some critical thinking skills as well. Students are provided a series of clues about 7 different colored boxes and students need to determine which of the seven provided masses, volumes, and densities is connected tot hat color box.
For example, "The density of water is 1.0 grams per cubic cm. If the orange object was placed in water, it would float."

STEM/NGSS: Properties of Matter Density and Its Characteristics READING
What makes density a unique property? This reading details why density is a characteristic property and why it can therefore be used to identify unknown materials.Reading includes a metacognitive strategy for reading comprehension, and is followed by two problems to solve.Includes examples of proportional reasoning to meet common core standards.Enjoy, and spread the word if you like it!

SCUBA - or whatever floats your boat
Students will be introduced to ideas such as density, Charles's Law, Boyle's Law, and buoyancy. They will model with mathematics, using linear equations, ratios and rates. The students will apply the ideas and physical properties to scuba diving and transfer the knowledge to explain why objects float in air. Ultimately, students will become "teachers" of the subject and will work together to create a model and poster session.
