Work and power LAB
This simple lab allows the students to practice on the concept of work and power using their own body. Students will calculate the work done when lifting a 500g metal cylinder several times. Students will collect and graph data and determine the power of their hand by determining the slope of the line in the Work vs. time graph.Students then will use the information from the data and the graph to calculate the number of repetitions needed to use the energy equivalent to a hot dog.

Activity: Measuring in Units of My Foot - Writing Simple Equations
In this activity, students use measuring skills & write one-step equations. An answer key is provided. Students measure the length of their foot (in inches) and use it as a base unit for expressing the length of different objects. Students use the variable "f" and a coefficient (number of footsteps) to write a simple equation for the length of an object. You can add the challenge of having students evaluate the expression. This measuring activity can be used in a math or numeracy class, as w

Micro:bit Light Sensor Basics
This lesson covers how to use the light sensors on the Micro:bit to measure the ambient light. The sensors are useful inputs to perform actions. We use them to respond to the ambient light and dim the Micro:bit LEDs. The input is also used to turn the LED display on or off. This is like the light sensors used in your home.Use this lesson to supplement lessons on the environment, light pollution. Reference the human eye and how the eye perceives light.The code includes comparisons, greater than a

Differentiated Volume Displacement and Density Calculation Lab (3 levels)
About This Product: In the first part of this laboratory activity, students will determine the volume of several objects (listed below) through the method of volume displacement. In the second part of the activity students must calculate the density of each object using their calculated volumes and masses. If you are short on time you can give students the masses of each object. There are three levels for this laboratory. Level 1 requires calculations for three objects and gives students all eq

Speed of a wave using a ripple tank
Use a ripple tank and a wave generator to measure the speed of a ripple in a ripple tank. Students will be able to set three or more different values of frequency on the wave generator, and them take a picture of the waves produced using a digital camera.with the picture the students can measure the wavelength of the waves, and plot a graph of frequency versus inverse of wavelength. The slope of the line represents the speed of the wave. will the speed of the wave be affected by changes in the f
