Pumpkin Catapults: Investigating energy and forces of motion
Pumpkin catapults is an awesome hands-on engineering project that can be used before, during, or after Halloween. Students will learn about simple machines, specifically levers as they explore, design, and test their pumpkin catapult. Students will also be given opportunities to modify their design and test for both distance and accuracy. During this investigation students will learn about Newton's 1st Law of Motion and the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Many math connections

These are interesting cards that can be printed on cardstock and laminated. I use them in my classroom and bring in the real materials for the students to understand that light has evolved from fire to the lightbulbs we use today. This is a great set of cards to be used in a lesson or on the shelf as a matching activity.

Hovercrafts
In this lesson, students will learn about the history of hovercrafts and how they work from a PowerPoint presentation that has been converted to a PDF. This is a great lesson to incorporate discussions on Potential and Kinetic energy. Students will go through the engineering design process to build and test models of hovercrafts using the supplies provided by the teacher. They should make a couple of models to be able to observe and discuss what they are noticing. This is a great Montessori less

Density Displacement Lab-Metal Cylinders
In this lab you will use water placement and mass to calculate the density of an unknown metal cylinder. The easiest set to get is from Flinn Scientific and contains the 4 cylinders that are being tested. I used this assignment as a summative to reinforce concepts learned throughout the unit. This can be done with partners and requires minimal lab materials.

Science Modeling with Building Blocks
Are you tired of using consummables for every project? I was. It seemed a bit wasteful at times and as a science teacher I decided to begin collecting building blocks (Legos) for my classroom a few years ago. (it is not as hard or as expensive as you may think) Included in this 7 page Google Doc purchase are tips, photos, a customizable rubric, and extension sample video of how to increase student engagement in your classroom by building models with Legos. I also include more incite as to how I
