Paper Roller Coasters
Paper roller coasters is sure to be a project students will love! It is an engineering project that requires collaboration, problem solving, exact measurement, and a knowledge of physics. Students will explore and put to test Newton's Laws of motion while building their vertical paper roller coaster made out of card stock, tape, and a foam board for the base. You will be amazed at your students creativity in designing and problem solving. I love how cost efficient this STEM project is, using onl

Taking Flight with Paper Airplanes
In this lesson students learn about the motion and design of paper airplanes. They learn about the following science topics: force, aerodynamics, drag, thrust, gravity, and lift. As an introduction to flight students learn about the Wright Brothers and discuss how airplanes have changed over time and the impact the invention of the airplane had on society as a whole. Then students begin to explore with paper airplanes, leading to many questions about how to build them to get the longest flight p

Roller Coaster Physics Project - Forces and Motion
This is an exciting culminating project I use after completing our unit on Forces and Motion. With this project, students research the design of a roller coaster, design their own roller coaster, and make it come to life in class! For the construction, all you need is gray pipe insulation - cut in half, duct tape, and marbles. A rubric is included to help guide students so they'll know what is expected of them. There are guided steps to ensure students are including (and labeling) the forces

Let's Go Fly a Kite Engineering Project
Students design, build and test a kite over a 3 day period. This is followed by another 3 day period for redesign and additional testing. Project encourages students to share ideas and to use effective engineering skills in an effort to meet the minimum requirement; 30 seconds of flight time with no assistance from the student; i.e. pulling on the string.

Density of Liquids Lab and Rubric (Mass, Float, Sink, Buoyancy) Word and PDF
This activity is always a hit with the students, and I love it, too. It is an excellent demonstration of the density of liquids and how density affects buoyancy. Students will calculate the densities of five liquids and then hypothesize what will happen when they are poured together and then what will happen when they are mixed. This activity uses readily-available liquids and a couple drops of food coloring to distinguish the liquids.
