Penny Boat Lab: Density, Buoyancy and Archimedes
This is a one period activity/lab to teach students about the concept of density and Archimedes Principle, why things float. Students each get a piece of aluminum foil and design and make a boat. They then must calculate how many pennies it will carry before sinking, and then test it. This is an excellent one day STEM project that combines science, math, design and construction. Students will use the formula Density=Mass divided by Volume.

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.

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
