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

Bottle Flipping: Math in Motion
As long as the students are going to flip bottles, let’s find the math in it. This measurement, data, and technology activity will keep the students so engaged that they’ll forget that they are learning rigorous math!As a “S.T.E.M. in Action” lesson, you’ll find all four components of a true S.T.E.M. curriculum represented.Science — Students measure mass and compare the behavior of the liquids as they flip the bottle.Technology — Students can build a spreadsheet and use it to collect and aggrega

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.

S'more ratios
Students practice ratio writting with an in class activity. I give students a small cup with mini graham crackers, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and 1 other item. They compare the quantities of each snack. Then on the back they use these quantities to make smores, based on each ingredient.

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
