Egg Drop Challenge | STEM Lab | Physics | Momentum and Impulse
This a great lab that gets the students moving and competing. They will love working with their hands to build something creative. Students will use their knowledge of momentum and impulse to create a contraption around their egg. The project can be done in one lab period and with everyday basic supplies. Or it can be extended to multiple days. I like to do it twice because most people will fail the first time but learn and succeed the second time.Lab Includes (Fully Editable):Students Will: - B

Projectile Motion Lab: Hit the Target | Physics
Many students have come up to me over the years and tell me this was their favorite lab. One student even said that when he was able to calculate where the ball would land and the ball hit the target, he felt like he had just performed magic. Students love this lab because they are asked to put their knowledge of physics into action and calculate the exact location where a ball will hit the ground. The lab is set up so they will have three different experiments where they will have to figure out

Conservation of Energy: Elastic Potential Energy Lab | Physics
Great physics lab to do on the topic of work and energy. Students love getting their hands on a cute jumping toy and having Play-Doh around. This lab is designed like many of my other labs. Students first calculate and solve for the theoretical answer (in this case, there are three theoretical problems) before trying to find the answer experimentally. I have found that students enjoy these types of labs the most, because the labs show how applicable physics is to real life. Also, when they see t
