Egg Experiments part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
These are activities where students explore chemical reactions, as well as the effects of concentrated solutions.
Iron in my cereal part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a hands on activity where students will gather information on their findings about iron in different cereals. Then use their finding and give reasonings of the differences and similarities.
Investigating Polymers: Comparing Two Liquid Glue Based Polymers part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this fun hands-on activity, students will create two different polymers, similar to Flubber and Silly Putty, using Elmers glue, liquid laundry starch, and Borax. Students will then compare the properties of the two polymers.
Do Water Molecules Have Space Between Them? part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a guided inquiry where students will investigate if water molecules have any space between them.
Chemical Reactions: Was the blood at the scene the "real McCoy"? part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity provides students with the opportunity to gather data from a controlled experiment setting, interpret their findings and use the data to draw conclusions to solve a mystery.
Getting the Lightbulb to Light Up part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a lab where the students try to make a lightbulb light up using two wires, a battery and a lightbulb.
Investigating the Inclined Plane through Inquiry part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This guided inquiry activity is designed to help students understand the effectiveness of inclined planes to reduce the amount of force needed to move an object.
Air Has Matter part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This is a series of activities demonstrating that air has mass, takes up space, and can exert a force on objects enough to lift them.
Why Does It Go So Fast? Investigating what makes rockets go up in space part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an inquiry based activity where students investigate how the force that causes rockets to go into space is similar to air being released from a balloon.
Chemical Changes and Healthy Bodies all from Snot! part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This demonstration has the students observe the properties of "snot", record their observation and discuss the importance of snot in keeping our bodies healthy.
Bubbling Blobs part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a lab project where students observe what happens when you try to mix oil and water. It can also be used to work with density.
