STEM Space Moon Crater Design Challenge (Engineering Design Process)
Can your team of astronauts work together to land a rover in the center of a crater on the Moon? This engaging STEM challenge is a fun way to incorporate the engineering design process into your classroom or afterschool program! Students use the engineering design process and explore the forces of motion to place a ball in a cup at the center of a 6 foot diameter circle without entering the circle. This challenge represents placing a NASA rover into the middle of the Apollo lunar crater for expl

Self - inflating glove lab for law of Conservation of Mass
This lab is a great way to introduce the basics of chemistry! With this you can show signs of a chemical change, endothermic reactions, and the law of the conservation of mass. The reaction is contained inside a nitryl glove, which keeps the mess contained while giving a cool effect as the glove blows itself up. This also includes the basics of using a triple beam balance. You can download the ppt. slide HERE. High school teacher can expand this into stoichiometry and balancing equations, limiti

kool aid ratios
To practice ratios and equvalent ratios students will compare kool aid solutions. I have students complete the front by analyzing models and completing a table. Then on the back students get to make 5 solutions. I give them solid drink mix ( 2 types), a spoon, mixing cup, water, and small tasting cups. They make the kool aid, rate the taste, and write the ratios of teaspoons to mL of water.

What is a Ratio? 5E Math Lab
This is a interactive math lab for the "engage" portion of a 5E lesson. This lab exposes students to ratios in a hands-on, fun way. Students can work in partnerships and go from station to station to complete each activity. I have used it with my students and they loved it! It is a great way to get students to really understand ratios.

Run Run Ratio!
This is an exciting lab that gets students up and moving around for math. Math is often times very dull because it is generally taught out of the book. Run Run Ratio is a very fun way to help students learn and practice measurement, rounding decimals, recording ratios, finding unit rate, comparing unit rates, and getting excited about math. Students will measure out a course with several different distances to run. 6 different runners will run while everyone else clocks their time and records th

Perfect Purple Paint Group Task
In this engaging color-mixing activity, students collaborate in heterogeneous groups to recreate the perfect purple paint discovered for a special room project. Originating from an 8 oz (1 cup) container, the challenge is to scale up the paint for larger 16 oz (2 cups) and 32 oz (4 cups) containers. Using red and blue food coloring, students explore ratios to achieve the identical shade, documenting their findings on a graph. The hands-on experiment encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and pr
