Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

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).

Balloon Car - Newton's Laws of Motion at Work - Physics Project
This lab is super inexpensive and so much fun! Students construct a “car” that runs on the power of a single balloon expelling air. Most of the materials are scavenged – water bottles, bottle caps, straws, etc. The activity takes 120 minutes including testing, data collection, and completing the lab questions for the easier version ad 150 minutes for the advanced version. This is real science with real calculations.

Voltage and Current in Series And Parallel Circuits Electricity Unit Challenge
An excellent culminating activity for your electricity unit! Challenge your students to apply logic and their understanding of current and voltage through series and parallel circuits. Circuits become slightly more challenging as they progress. Use it as an individual activity or have groups of two challenge other groups of two. Either way, it is an excellent review of circuit rules! Answers included.Please note, this is a two-page activity where students apply their understanding of volt
