Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Rotational Inertia of a Roll Of Masking Tape Lab - Honors or AP Physics
Determining the Rotational Inertia of a Roll of Masking TapeThis activity is designed for Honors or Advanced Placement Physics and can be done with nothing more than ordinary lab equipment - meter sticks, a balance, and an inclined plane (I use foam core science fair boards) and slow motion video capture software. I use Technique Hudl as an app. It’s free, easy to learn and collects data beautifully but you can use any slo-motion app you'd like or even use a stop watch though your data won't be

Making Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag
This is a really FUN activity. The students make ice cream in a bag.
I have used it as an activity for physical science and phase changes. I have also just used it as a fun end-of-the-year activity.
I also included some activities that I have my students do while they are waiting to make their ice cream or waiting for other kids to finish their ice cream. I have the kids create their own ice cream flavor. This is easily turned in to a writing assignment.
