Roller Coaster STEM Model Building Contest Project for Engineering and Physics
This project includes 6 sections including research, exploration, design, build, showcase, and reflection. It takes students step by step through designing a functioning marble roller coaster with a theme and building it. It comes with multiple rubrics to grade each section and a set of reflection questions at the end. This project can be lengthened or shortened by requiring more detailed projects. When my students did this project, it took about 10 days to make detailed, functioning rollercoast

Seat Belt Science Science Lab (seatbelt physics motion car crash force)
This is a 17 page "thematic" unit on Seat Belt Science. Has four labs in it. Takes over a week to do but probably under two weeks. I have actually used this packet for 3 years and has been updated each time. You must get the video: "Dynamics of a Crash" - this video can now be found on Youtube.
This is an old video but works great with several of the labs done in this unit. But you may use other video that shows a simulated car crash in slow motion. If you can not find this video all you need

Electrical Circuits- Thematic Unit Electrical Components (soldering FM radio)
This is material from a one week summer camp that I created. The camp was called "Gadgets, Widgets, & Gizmos" - for grades 6-8. It is basically a self contained unit that has lots of hands on labs and activities. It teaches series and parallel circuits and electronic components. Students use two different electric kits, solder an LED circuit together, and then for the grand finale build an FM radio. I think a creative public school science teacher would do well with this material. However, i
