Students design and create containers that will keep one standard-sized ice cubes in their solid form for a set period of time. The winner is the person who creates the container that keeps the ice cube solid for the longest period of time. Ribbon Templates are included for first, second, and third prize After the actual “Great Ice Cube Melt” students will analyze what worked and what did not Take the classic STEM challenge to the next level. Question Can you build a better cooler that can hold ice colder longer? This lab is an application of the engineering process. Also, includes Engineering Geometry Ratios Critical thinking Materials are common items around the home No prep for you but lots of science for your students. Students learn and apply concepts in thermodynamics and energy—mainly convection, conduction, and radiation— to solve a challenge. This is accomplished by splitting students into teams and having them follow the engineering design process to design and build a small insulated box, with the goal of keeping an ice cube frozen

A quick fun lab to teach students about the speed of falling objects. Perfect for a physics class. There is no prep or clean up involved. Students will understand gravity after performing this lab.

“Mu of a Shoe”: An Exploration of Low-Tech Friction The primary aim of this laboratory experiment is to ascertain the static and kinetic coefficients of friction pertaining to a shoe on a tabletop surface. By utilizing a shoe, a spring scale, and weights, the goal is to analyze the factors influencing the force required to move the shoe across a specified surface. Materials required for this experiment include a protractor, spring scales with varying measuring scales, one or more shoes, a laboratory table, and a range of weights. Upon completion of this practical, students will engage in a comparative analysis between the static coefficient of friction and the kinetic coefficient of friction, presented in a formal Claim-Evidence-Reasoning format.
