Physical properties of matter review using pennies to find mass, density, and volume.
Supplies
You will need many pennies for this lab
15 each of 1981 and older ones and 1983 and newer ones per group.
Triple balance beam per group or a central few
Small graduated cylinder approximately 50mL
I did this with my 6th grade science class, it give them a hands on comparison that density is different from volume and that density of the same materials stays the same no matter the weight.

Lab Activity Calculating Rates of Tectonic Plate Motion
In this activity students will calculate the rate of the movement of Pacific Tectonic plate by examinining the formation of Hawaiian island chain. Students begin by determining ages of rocks found on each island using radiometric dating principle. Then they use scale maps to determine real world distances between islands. Finally they determine speed of motion from distance and time passed.
This lab utilizes the claim, evidence and reasoning framework to guide students to synthesis of ideas and

Drone Lab: Right-Angle Trigonometry, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines
YOU DO NOT NEED A DRONE FOR THIS LAB!!! This lab actually has two separate folders: one for teachers who have access to a drone (or even a helium balloon that is tied to a kite string!) and one for teachers with no drone. Any way you do it, you get a customized lab, designed to help your students use right-angle trig, law of sines, and law of cosines in real-world situations. If you are droneless, the whole simulation is set up for you. You can choose whatever drone heights you like and ente

Kirchhoff's Laws ATL - Differentiation
The six teaching approaches and five learning approaches serve as guiding principles for educators and students within IB World Schools. These approaches revolve around a continuous cycle of inquiry, action, and reflection—a dynamic interplay of questioning, doing, and thinking that shapes the daily activities of both teachers and learners. I have prepared this lesson in light of these ATL. I know from my experience, that the student always struggles in this topic and find it hard. so I prepared

Quadratic Function Activity About Your Dental Arch
Through this activity students will discover properties of parabolas while comparing the parabola they all carry around with them every day - their dental arch. Students will brainstorm ways to measure a dental arch and ultimately take an "impression" of their arch by taking a bite out of a slice of bread. Then they will trace their arch onto a graph, use the graph to generate a table of values, and then use the table to plug into an equation for the most "perfect" dental arch. Students love

Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass
The fictional element, nailonite, is central to this inexpensive laboratory activity. Other than a balance, the only material required for this activity is a sample of 10-25 total nails of three different sizes for each lab group. Each nail in the sample represents one of the three isotopes of the element. This simulation allows students to actually measure the mass of each of the three isotopes, and, after calculating the relative abundance of the isotopes in the sample, calculate the average a
