The Peanut Butter Problem [LAB]
The NGSS for Middle School Science requires a lot more thinking of our students than most lab activities require! This lab is not a cookie-cutter type lab but requires students to make observations and collect data to support their ideas. It leans heavily on the SEPs, and is darn fun for students! In this lab activity, students will work as TSA security agents to determine whether or not certain materials can fly in a young person’s carry-on bag. This is inspired by the TSA’s declaration of pean

Fact-Checking the Internet: How Light Moves
In this student-paced lesson, students will work with a partner to use their Claim-Evidence-Reasoning skills to fact-check a video from the internet. They will analyze the information in the video for false or misleading statements, and then conduct their own internet search to verify whether those statements are factually correct or not. Each student will take notes separately while conducting their own search, and then compare notes with their partner before writing their final CER statements.

Motion and Forces. Collisions.
In this warmup, students evaluate what would happen to a series of balls stacked on top of each other from a particular height. This is intended to be used in a unit that focuses on: potential versus kinetic energy. This could also be used in a unit involving collisions. Students will need to have been introduced to, and be able to evaluate the term 'inertia.'
If interested, this warmup comes with a companion lesson and series of video. For more information, go to STEAM Punks to learn more.
