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

Mouse Trap Car Project: Energy and Motion | Physics and Engineering
There is nothing better to solidify the students understanding of Energy than to have them build and test out their mouse trap cars. Many times, students look forward to this project all year. This project allows students to visualize how elastic potential energy converts to kinetic energy. Students are always astonished to see concepts they are learning about come to life as we work on this project.Even though I allow the students to build the mouse trap car however they like, I have included a

Graphing - Interpreting Distance vs Time Graphs
This worksheet gives students 4 distance vs time graphs and a series of questions about each to lead them through reading graphs. The main goal is to hammer home the point that slope = velocity.This is the second in my set of worksheets on graphing that will lead students through the basics of constructing graphs, interpreting the meaning of graphs, and calculating quantities from graphs.This is ideal for physical science classes where the students are in pre-algebra or algebra 1.

Paper Airplane Lab: Gravity and Air Resistance
This activity helps demonstrate some of the unbalanced forces, namely gravity and air resistance, that affect us every day. Students should predict why paper airplanes do not stay in the air forever. After testing their paper airplane, they should create a force diagram and answer some questions regarding these unbalanced forces.
Materials needed: paper, meter stick
Main topics: unbalanced forces, gravity, air resistance (friction).

Balloon Car - Newton's Laws of Motion at Work - Physics Project
This lab is super inexpensive and so much fun! Students construct a “car” that runs on the power of a single balloon expelling air. Most of the materials are scavenged – water bottles, bottle caps, straws, etc. The activity takes 120 minutes including testing, data collection, and completing the lab questions for the easier version ad 150 minutes for the advanced version. This is real science with real calculations.
