Balloon Rocket Lab Investigation: Newton's Laws of Motion
Students who have been exposed to the Newton's Laws of Motion will love this interactive lab! This lab requires students to analyze what they already know about Newton's Laws and apply them to this lab investigation. As always, I try to have my students have a part in the decision process of the lab activity. By deciding on the independent variable of this activity, they test their ability to use what they have learned to predict the outcome of the activity. A proper use of the Scientific Method

Spring Action Lab: A Bouncy and Engaging STEM Lab
Students will enjoy putting their learning to work in this engaging lab. Using springs or rubber bands, students measure and record data as they try to get a bucket to touch the floor by adding weights. Then they use their data and its graph to make predictions and write equations that will help them predict the outcomes. This simple and inexpensive lab will help your students learn graphing, t-tables, measurement, linear functions, and the physics of tension forces. This can be used as a stand-

Zombie Motion, Speed and Acceleration Physics Lab Set
Have you had days where your students seem like zombies? Why not have them act like zombies to study the physics of motion?!This lab set contains all the note sheets, labs and follow up to study speed, motion, acceleration and the start of Newton's Laws!You can change this to study the motion and force of zombies, though I did this with the physics cars I had. I also found that red, black and blue dry erase markers can be used to make a quick zombie makeup set. You can scare students or have the

How Much for Those Fries? The Math in Action Series.
Ever wonder how the price at a "Fast Food" restaurant may be determined. This activity may just answer that question for you. The application of mathematical theory has always been the "when will I ever use this Real Life" attitude from our students. I created this lesson to reinforce the theory of graphing data, calculating an equation of best fit, and formulating a conclusion. Each student will be able to see the usefulness of mathematics in a Real World setting. Common core stand
