| Laws of Motion Keynote Presentation |
7 to 10 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) After reviewing Newton’s Laws of Motion, students will create animations to illustrate each of the three laws. When animations are complete, appropriate sound effects can be added. Finished Keynote presentations will be exported as Quicktime movies, to be embedded in class wiki. |
| Lego Mindstorms Robotics |
4 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) The 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students of St. Catherine of Siena participate in Lego Mindstorms Robotics Initiative.

| Let’s Get Excited about Roller Coasters! |
5 to 9 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) An amusement park has decided to open a theme park to be located in Waikoloa Village, Hawaii. It is an exciting time for the citizens of Waikoloa Village. Finally, this small town will be put on the map for something big. The residents are anxiously anticipating the grand opening of the amusement park. However, the operators of the amusement park need your help. They want to design a new roller coaster with a car that runs as smoothly as a marble would down the track. Your team has been hired to design this new roller coaster track for this theme park. Your task is to design a model of the track you would like to build for this amusement park. Your model must demonstrate the law of conservation of energy, gravity, force, momentum, and especially kinetic and potential energy. |

| Light Sport Aircraft Design Challenge |
7 to 10 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students in 7th grade Physical Science will be assigned the challenge to design a new Light Sport Aircraft or modify an existing one using aircraft design software to meet the demands of a customer. |
| Listening to Learn: Podcasting as an Assessment Tool |
P-K to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students use teacher created podcasts to study for and complete science tests. |
| Making a Battery and Energy Transformations |
7 to 7 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will use the inquiry process to build their own wet cell battery. Focus will be on students understanding that energy can be stored in one form and transformed into other forms. |
| Making Butter- From a Liquid to a Solid |
1 to 3 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will make butter and design/engineer hands-free butter-shaking apparatus. Students will record and graph the length of time of the butter changing process (change of state of matter). |
