Investigation of Newtonian Forces on Plate Tectonics part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Margy Schipper, Holy Cross Catholic School, Webster, MN, based on an original activity by Daniel Bugenhagen, Yutan Jr-Sr High, Yutan, NE as printed in Holt, Reinhart, Winston Earth Science, 2005
This model-making activity gives students an opportunity visualize Newtonian forces acting on a single point as well as combined forces acting to produce synclines and anticlines in Earth's crust. Students will analyze models to interpret findings of plate movements.

Hurricanes Unit Overview part of EarthLabs for Educators:Hurricanes
LuAnn Dahlman, NOAA; John McDaris, Carleton College
In this EarthLabs module, students will do hands-on experiments and study hurricanes in satellite imagery and visualizations. They'll also explore over 150 years of storm data to find out when and where these storms occur. If students are studying hurricanes during hurricane season, they can monitor the position and status of storms in real time. Hurricanes can serve as an exciting entry point into understanding everyday weather, or a culminating topic for an Earth system or environmental science unit.

Investigating Motion: Calculating and Graphing Students Walking Speed part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Rick Bennett, Cedar Mountain Schools, Morgan, MN, I do not know of any authors
This activity is a field investigation where students gather data on their motion and how it compares to another person.

Water Bottle Rockets- Understanding Energy part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Heather Reighard
This lab activity is an exploration of Newton's Three Laws, forces and energy. Students will design, build, launch and analyze rocket data.

Planets Made Real - Creating Size and Distance Scale of Planets in the Student's Community part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Sam Greene Community Christian School Willmar, MN 56201 To my knowledge, an original activity.
This activity is a classroom investigation where the students create, in size and distance, a solar system model in proportion to a selected sphere representing the earth.
