Energy Webquest
In this self-directed and interactive webquest, students conduct an in-depth research exploration about energy! It starts with an overview of "energy" and the law of conservation of energy in order to build a conceptual understanding of energy and energy transformations. It then moves into exploring the different forms of energy through interactives: potential, gravitational, kinetic, chemical, electrical, mechanical, etc. It then moves into the different types of energy transfer: electrical, t

Waves! A Webquest
I use this as an introduction to a unit on waves and wave energy. It introduces students to the two types of waves (transverse and Compression) and takes them on a tour of websites that helps them to understand wave characteristics and also subtopics such as sound waves, light waves, and EM waves. It serves to give students some background to what a wave is, and different forms of wave energy.

Chemical Bonding - PROJECT: SECRET SERVICE POISON CONTROL
Who doesn't love a good murder mystery?This project was created based off a real set of murders which took place back in the 1930s by an individual who used arsenic trioxide to murder multiple people. This project provides students with all the facts for them to formulate their ideas of what chemical composition was used. I have done this and allowed my students to work in groups of 4-5. This enriches communication, critical thinking and of course - SCIENCE!!!!!Enjoy!!!!

Middle School Science, Physical Science, Density Cube Inquiry Lab
In the Middle School Science [or Physical Science] Density Cube Inquiry Lab - The volume of objects can be determined either by measuring dimensions or by using the displacement method, where the water's rise indicates volume. Density, reflecting mass per unit volume, influences buoyancy: objects lighter than displaced water float, while heavier ones sink. In a lab exploring these principles, students observe how varying masses of identical-sized objects affect their densities and buoyancy, pote
