Dirty Penny Science Experiment for Presidents' Day
Your class will love this simple experiment. This outlines all of the steps of scientific investigation. The students have to come up with a question, make a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, show their results, and come up with a conclusion. Each step is clearly outlined and explained.
For my class, I just had to explain the process, give them a definition of a hypothesis (letting them know it's okay to be wrong!), and then explain why the salt and vinegar is the winner (sorry to give it awa

Gravity Lab: Calculating Distance in Space
In this lab, students start by measuring how far they can jump on Earth, and then calculate how far they could jump on the different planets and Earth's moon, based on the amount of gravity present on each body. This was a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity, while also reinforcing the 6th grade math concept of division of decimals. All steps of the scientific method are included, along with a full rubric to assess students' learning.

Temperature & Matter Lab- Is Gas Really Matter? With Extension
✨Have you ever felt like your students "grasp" solids, liquids, and gases are matter- they take up space and have mass? But then, you realize they say things like "I can move through gas- like it's not here! It doesn't take up space" once you start getting into deeper discussions about it? That's what this lesson was designed for- to show that gas DOES take up space (inside a balloon) and prove that gas DOES have mass using scientific and mathematical evidence! ✨ I also felt like students were t

The Layering Tower of Density
This a great lab for 5th, 6th, or even 7th grade to perform. The lab uses different liquids and allows students to see how different substance have different densities. The lab begins by discussing the density of water and then predicting if other liquids will be less/more dense.
The practice problems review the density formula, allows them to slowly develop a formal lab report, and practice density problems on their own. Also, it allows students review subtracting decimals and answer quest

What is a Year? (Inner Planet Revolutions)
Scientific Method inquiry about the solar system/space
Students will show the distances of the inner planets from the sun compared to each other. Students will show the revolution of each planet using yarn then hang all 4 pieces next to each other to see the difference in their length. Students will come to the conclusion that planets further away from the sun have longer years because of the distance needed to travel in one revolution. The end product will be a visual of the inner planets' orb
