Water Cycle in a Bag Experiment
Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Accumulation!
Observe the water cycle in your classroom. Using a sandwich bag and colored water watch the water form vapor and then "rain" inside the baggie. Students love this!
This download includes directions and a two page, detailed observation sheet to record the progress four times.
My class said this was their favorite activity of the year. I hang the baggies on the window facing our school courtyard and always get compliments on how appealing

Primary GATE -- AIR! Active, Creative, Academic, and Hands-on!
I am always trying to figure out what to do with my little primary groups, and this unit was a definite hit with my kindergartners. It would work well with 1st grade too or the regular 2nd grade classroom. The full unit contains more than 2 hours of contact time.
It’s active, fun, and challenging for these little ones and seemed to have the right combination of “get up and move,” imagination, creativity, and “making” along with academic tasks.
We learn about four important properties of air

Rube Goldberg STEM Group Science Project - Middle School or High School
This is a multi-step, multi-week Rube Goldberg Group Project that I did in 7th grade for many years, and it was ALWAYS super fun and a highlight of the year. It accompanies a Physics Unit on Forces, Simple Machines, and Energy, and is best to incorporate into a 4-6 week unit. I can easily be adapted for grades 6-12, varying the concepts of physics that are expected to be demonstrated.The goal is to design and engineer a Rube Goldberg machine and present it to peers, other classes, or even the
