Middle School/Upper Elementary Scientific Method and STEM Fair Unit
This unit was designed as a way to incorporate STEM into a more traditional Science Fair model with connections to STEM careers. Students are encouraged to choose a topic that they are deeply interested in and they learn how to connect scientific thinking to concepts outside of science class. They are also introduced to future STEM careers and community resources. The unit is directly aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Common Core.
In order to help students achieve t

Spring into Statistics Data Displays and Measures of Center Lab
This is a hands-on lab that teaches about Statistical Questions, Data Displays (dot/line plot, histograms, box plots) and Measures of Center (mean, median, mode, and range). The lab includes notes pages, examples with answer keys, and a final project in which the student can survey classmates and create a "flower" by using their data to find mean, median, mode, range. They will also create a box plot, histogram and dot plot.
Mini Science Fair Project: Surface Tension Lab
This product was created for a classroom science lab designed to be used to introduce students to the scientific method and to doing a "real" Science Fair Project. It includes all parts of the scientific method and the Science Fair components. The experiment includes a blank lab sheet, detailed, step-by-step instructions for completing the lab, a data sheet, instructions for writing a science report, lab "slips" for grading participation in the lab, and an diagram for helping to set up a displa

Preventing The Spread of Zombie Germs!
Students in grades 5 through 8 can actually measure the effectiveness of hand washing in a scientifically controlled way. Students identify variables, complete data tables, graph results and analyze their data. Teachers will need access to a black light and a small drop of glow in the dark paint. Kids really enjoy this activity and it utilizes many Common Core skills.

Exploring Tides. Graphing Data and Patterns Project
This activity helps students to see the connection between the moon phases and the height of Tides. In this activity students are required to graph the height of the highest tides and the lowest tides of each day given. Then they compare that with the calendar for the new and full moons. The patterns help them discover the relationship between moon phases and tides. Excellent reinforcer of graphing skills with a science connection.
