Taking Flight with Paper Airplanes
In this lesson students learn about the motion and design of paper airplanes. They learn about the following science topics: force, aerodynamics, drag, thrust, gravity, and lift. As an introduction to flight students learn about the Wright Brothers and discuss how airplanes have changed over time and the impact the invention of the airplane had on society as a whole. Then students begin to explore with paper airplanes, leading to many questions about how to build them to get the longest flight p

Density of Liquids Lab and Rubric (Mass, Float, Sink, Buoyancy) Word and PDF
This activity is always a hit with the students, and I love it, too. It is an excellent demonstration of the density of liquids and how density affects buoyancy. Students will calculate the densities of five liquids and then hypothesize what will happen when they are poured together and then what will happen when they are mixed. This activity uses readily-available liquids and a couple drops of food coloring to distinguish the liquids.

Simple Machine Survivor (Performance task and Rubric)
This is a performance task in which students recognize items as simple machines and use them to survive on an island.
During a trip to a tropical island, the students' teacher is thrown overboard in a storm, and has only left the shipwrecked students a "big box of simple machines." Students are also given a number of resources on the island from which they can meet their basic needs of food, water, and shelter. The students will write a paragraph explaining how they will use the items left be
