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.

HotWheels Speed Lab with a Distance Time Graph
This is a fun lab to experiment with speed! Supplies needed per group include: make-shift ramp, masking tape, 3 stop watches, meter-stick, hot wheels car and this lab sheet. Students will mark of one, two and three meters with the tape. Three students with stop-watches will stand at each of those meters. Groups will count down and as another student releases their car down the ramp, all stop watches should start their time simultaneously with the release of the car. Each student will stop their

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

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

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
