Borax Crystal Snowflake Science Activity
Having my students make Borax Crystal Snowflakes before the holidays is one of my all time favorite winter activities! With a few simple materials and a little preparation, your students will have fun learning science while they make a winter ornament that they will treasure for years to come! I still hang mine on my tree each year! This activity is best started in class and finished at home.

Snowflakes (using paper chromatography)
This activity uses coffee filters and water-soluble ink pens to make beautiful snowflakes to use as classroom decorations during the holidays! They can be taped up onto windows, used as binder decorations, on the tree, etc. The neat thing about these snowflakes is that students use the principles of chromatography to separate the black ink into it's many colors and learn something while having fun! I use this same activity with juniors and seniors in high school. Kids of all ages have fun w

Ball Toss Projectile Motion Activity - On Level, Trig Based or AP Physics
This is an excellent activity to develop the mathematics of upwardly fired projectiles. It has low error, uses a free app for measuring motion and students must work as a team.Students work in groups of 4 to toss a tennis ball or similar item a horizontal distance of 4-6 meters between them and video capture the event. They then record the time data, measure the toss angle, calculate the vertical and horizontal components of motion and determine the resultant launch speed. It takes students 4

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
