Graduated Cylinders - Measuring the Volume of a Liquid {FREEBIE}

Created by

Having a hard time finding assessments for measuring the volume of a liquid? I always pair this assessment with real, hands-on practice in the classroom. I’ve also used it to introduce this topic with the assessment first so the students know how to read the graduated cylinders before you give them one with water in it. There are 6 questions on this one page assessment and an answer document that goes with it. You can use them as exit tickets, homework, class practice, final assessments or in a

STEM Design Cycle ~ FREE Graphic Organizer

Created by

Smart Chick

Let me start by saying that we use the design cycle on a daily basis in all content areas. I make the graphic organizer poster-sized and it hangs up in our classroom all of the time. We use post-it notes to show our thinking and where we are in the cycle at any given moment! Students also have their own copies of the design cycle organizer to use during our STEM challenges and other STEM activities. Learning how to use the design cycle is a process for the students, let them find their way

Marshmallow Flight Lab

Created by

STEM Mom

Do your students love a good competition? You might want to try this lesson titled “Marshmallow Flight.” I have used this lab with junior and high school students, but have also done a simpler version of this lab with my kindergartner. The file contains two versions of the same lab. The first is a commonly used version in which students follow directions, collect data, and answer post-lab questions. The second version of this lab is a higher-level inquiry lab, where students move through the

How to find the volume of a solid using the liquid displacement method

Created by

Judy Zapinsky

This is a short, animated, PowerPoint slide show, demonstrating the method used to find the volume of an irregular solid (a swimmer doll) using liquid displacement. The original volume of water in the graduated cylinder is measured, the swimmer races over to the graduated cylinder and jumps into the water, the water level rises, and the new volume of the water is measured. The subtraction of the two numbers is shown, along with the results.Note - It is also part of my bundled packages of lesson

Cooperative Learning Job Cards

Created by

Brittiny Zotzky

These are great for organizing group work and cuts out the questions on who can do what. You can print these out on full pages and display them or do what I do and print multiple per page so I can just hand them out to students during group work. That way, each student gets a chance to play each role and the responsibilities are right there on the card. If there is any way I can modify them to suit you better just let me know. Thanks and enjoy!

Skittles Proportion Activity

Created by

Schmidt Special Ed

Students are to be provided a bag of skittles. They are going to use proportions and ratios to determine if there are the same number/ratio of each color in all different sized bags. I had students work in groups of 2 for this activity. Within the activity I broke it up into three different sections; a pre-lab, lab, and post-lab portion. Students make initial guesses/hypothesis, test out their theory, use proportions and ratios to analyze their results and graph data.

Density Lab - Discovering the Densities of Coke and Diet Coke

Created by

Jennifer Langsdale

This laboratory experiment (Discovering and Comparing the Densities of Coke and Diet Coke) is written in the scientific format. Students make hypotheses regarding the densities of coke and diet coke, observe the physical properties, and use mathematical reasoning to discover the reason for the density differences between these two materials. Students are always shocked by the outcome of this experiment. This laboratory write-up can be used in isolation, or can be supplemented with comparison
