Coriolis Effect Balloon Lab
The Coriolis Effect is a very challenging scientific concept to understand, and it is hard for kids to wrap their brains around it when it's so far removed from their classroom and lives. This hands-on lab activity allows students to model the Coriolis Effect - feel and see it happen right before their eyes. Students use balloons as the Earth and draw the winds as the balloon earths spin on their axis. They can see the Coriolis Effect happen and see the directions that the winds blow on both the

Differentiated Water Cycle Project- Journey of a Water Drop (Best Seller)
When I taught the water cycle to my 7th grade students (which they should have already learned about before being in my class), I took it one step further and tied in energy levels and states of matter. I had my students show their knowledge of this information in a creative way- the journey of a water drop.For this project, the students get a "choice board" of options (and also have the ability to suggest their own idea). They have to follow a water drop through the water cycle, while referring
