Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Pond Water MICROORGANISMS BIOINDICATORS of Water Pollution 46 Reference
Students observe and identify pond water microorganisms with microscopes to determine if it is polluted or not. Here are 46 reference cards of protists and invertebrates with pollutant tolerance levels indicated. Some common protists and pond organisms can be used as bioindicators. Are you studying MS-ESS3-3 or HS-ESS3-4 and discussing the impact that humans have on our waterways? For years I have taken my middle school classes to a nearby pond to collect organisms to look at under the microsc

Rotational Inertia of a Roll Of Masking Tape Lab - Honors or AP Physics
Determining the Rotational Inertia of a Roll of Masking TapeThis activity is designed for Honors or Advanced Placement Physics and can be done with nothing more than ordinary lab equipment - meter sticks, a balance, and an inclined plane (I use foam core science fair boards) and slow motion video capture software. I use Technique Hudl as an app. It’s free, easy to learn and collects data beautifully but you can use any slo-motion app you'd like or even use a stop watch though your data won't be

Tragedy of the Commons Lab - Human Impact on the Environment
In 1968 the Tragedy of the Commons was published. A major principle of the article is the notion that any resource that is open to everyone – such as the air or parts of the ocean – will eventually be destroyed because everyone can use the resource but no one is responsible for preserving it. When people are not compelled to preserve resources for the welfare for future generations, the Tragedy of the Commons occurs.
