Paper Airplane Lab: Gravity and Air Resistance
This activity helps demonstrate some of the unbalanced forces, namely gravity and air resistance, that affect us every day. Students should predict why paper airplanes do not stay in the air forever. After testing their paper airplane, they should create a force diagram and answer some questions regarding these unbalanced forces.
Materials needed: paper, meter stick
Main topics: unbalanced forces, gravity, air resistance (friction).

CAN/CUP PHONE SOUND WAVE LAB
Remember making a phone by connecting two cans with a string, and talking through them? This project is an excellent opportunity to teach how sound travels through matter. Cans may be used, but large plastic cups work better. Paper cups are another option. Have string, fishing line, and wire available to use, adding variables to the lab. The kids will have great fun while learning about sound waves. The step-by-step worksheet includes desired learner outcomes and sound activity background. There

Calculating and Graphing Speed: Marble Racing Experiment!
A simple lab to test how the speed of a marble changes as the height/slope of a ramp is increased. As students raise the ramp, they will notice the speed of the marble increases. Students will need to calculate their results, create a distance-time graph to represent their data, and write a conclusion of their results.
Materials needed: marble (or ball), stop watch, ramp (I use Hot Wheels track), meter stick.

BUILD-AN-ATOM PROJECT
Put some art and crafts into your science class. Students will research an element of their choice. Then they will write a 1 page report about it, make a Bohr model, and finally build a three dimensional model of the atom. Visualizing atoms and energy levels will be simple with this project. They will love to see their atoms hanging all over the ceiling. Kids can work individually or in groups, in class or at home. Materials are generally of no cost, but the experience is priceless.

Oobleck Lab - Chemistry / General Science
This is an introduction to matter activity that I do with all levels of general science and chemistry classes that I have taught. There are various "Oobleck" or slime recipes available all around the internet - the one in this activity is close to slightly more fluid than Silly Putty and uses a Borax solution to bind the polymers in Elmer's Glue so that it will stick to itself.
The activity involves no math and is purely qualitative observation-based. I have some pre-lab questions for the stu

Simple Machines - Ramp Lab
This is a "low budget" simple machines lab that focuses on the Inclined Plane. Students will compare the advantage and efficiency of a shallow plane against a steeper plane. I use this lab with my freshman general science classes and junior conceptual physics classes after working through the Simple Machines notes and practice problems. It can take students anywhere from half an hour to a full "block" (in my school, 80 minutes). It is intended for students who are in pre-algebra or algebra 1

Changing Speed: Coffee Filter Racing Experiment!
A simple lab to test how the speed of dropped coffee filters changes as the height is increased. As students raise the height of the filters, speed will increase (up to a point, known as terminal velocity), where after the speed will remain constant. Students will need to calculate their results, create a distance-time graph and a speed-time graph to represent their data, and write a conclusion of their results.
