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.

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).
Quick, easy, and effective in demonstrating gravity and

Tides Lab Using Water Balloons - Hands On Experience That Kids LOVE!
This lab is a really fun way to use discovery and investigation to teach students how gravity and inertia cause tides, along with the moon. The cost is low (a package of water balloons and yarn) and it is a great activity to get kids moving and outside. They work in small groups and go through a series of steps and procedures and record data. This was one of the most fun labs of the year for students and was instrumental is having kids understand why we have high tides on the side of the Earth c
