Racing Cars - A Unit About Force and Motion
This unit is designed to be project based, and teach students how forces affect the motion of car as it moves down a ramp. Students will gain deeper understanding of mass, air resistance, gravity, friction, inertia, and acceleration. Students will explore forces through inquiry-based learning where they will design a ramp to carry a car the farthest distance.
This unit plan features a lesson plan/unit overview, and 16 pages of student workbook pages with brainstorming, challenge questions, bra

Scientific Method Lab: Paper Airplane Model Design
This “Scientific Method Lab: Paper Airplane Design" was designed for my 5th grade class, but it can easily be used with any grade level. The Big Idea would be force and motion.Older students might even like to “tweak” the lab and design their own paper airplane models!Included are lab instructions following the scientific method, a data recording sheet, and the paper airplane foldables. The lab follows the scientific method, but it does not include a Review of Literature, an abstract, or a disp

The Ultimate Paper Airplane STEAM Project + Escape Room: 10 Day Challenge
Every year since I started teaching, I've done a paper airplane contest. When I first started around 12 years ago, it was a quick contest that lasted just an afternoon. Gradually, as my experience as an educator grew, this project began to grow into what it is today... A 10 day cross-curricular mega project! I always say that student engagement is the key to learning, and I can guarantee that your students will be engaged during these activities! They will be measuring, graphing, reading, analyz

Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab using Claim, Evidence, Reasoning and Rebuttal
Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab using Claim, Evidence, Reasoning and Rebuttal
Student’s will conduct a lab answering the question: How is water absorbed through a selectively permeable membrane? They will make a claim about what they think will happen to a Gummy Bear Candy after soaking it in water for 24 hours. In this experiment students will first read a short C.E.R.R. article explaining the concept of osmosis and diffusion. After they have read the article they will move into the experiment making

Unit Conversion (Unit Factor Method) Challenge Stations
I believe unit conversions / stoichiometry / dimensional analysis is one of the most important skills to master. It is so useful in real life, whether traveling internationally, cooking, building, sewing, etc. After the 50th worksheet and word problem, I decided to make activities and stations for my students to practice unit conversions. Each station is set up for a different “real life” scenario that could involve unit conversion. You can modify the scenarios to fit the materials you have, but
