Rube Goldberg simple machine project
This is a 2 page description/procedure/rubric for a Rube Goldberg project. I gave my class 2 full weeks to work on this. They are provided with minimal materials, the rest is gathered from home (recyclable materials, toys, etc..). A PowerPoint presenation accompanies the Rube Goldberg machine. My students LOVED doing this and they learned a lot about simple machines as well.

Newtons Laws of Motion Project - Middle School Science
This is a great way to wrap up an unit on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students choose how they want to present their information for the project. It can be a poster, brochure or power point presentation. If students come up with a different presentation as long as they get my approval beforehand, I usually give them the go ahead (ie: students wanted to include videos versus pictures in their PPT presentation).This project includes some background information on the 3 laws of motion for student

Marble Roller Coaster Activity
Building and designing a marble roller coaster.
This is a great activity for motion and forces for middle and high school students.
Students use foam pipe insulation to design a roller coaster with hills, a loop and a curve.
Students must problem solve to overcome the forces of gravity and centripetal forces to get a marble to the end of the track.
Students also measure and calculate speed and acceleration at different points within the roller coaster.

Motion & Forces Bloom Ball Project
This is a week-long project in which students create a Bloom Ball (12-sided figure) about motion & forces. Each side of the Bloom Ball focuses on a different aspect of motion & forces (i.e. Newton's Laws, gravity, potential & kinetic energy, etc.). This is a great project if you're looking to assess students' learning, as it asks them to define key terms and draw their own examples of the various concepts related to motion & forces. Excellent classroom decoration once they're fin
