1. Introduction to the periodic table
This activity asks students to organize candies according to different properties. As
they do, they'll face some of the same challenges that Dmitri Mendeleev, the Father
of the Periodic Table, faced when trying to organize the chemical elements over 150
years ago.
This 5-in-1 Science Activity Power Pack includes the following activities:

2. Keeping a laboratory notebook
Laboratory notebooks are an organized way for students to keep track of their
processes for investigations and inquiry-based experiments. Students learn to
capture important detail about an activity, including reasons behind certain changes,
specific observations, solutions to problems encountered, and data collected.
3. Exoplanet Identification Demonstration
In this activity, students will get hands-on experience with a method to identify the
existence of exoplanets. The activity simulates the Transit Method in a way that's easy
for students to grasp.
4. A Slippery Dilemma Demonstration
In this activity, students will investigate just that as they analyze various
concentrations of road salt runoff in pond water to recommend the optimal
level for keeping roads safe with the least impact on the environment.
5. Building a Rocket Engine
This rocket ship activity will excite your students while teaching basic scientific
principles related to chemical reactions, gravity, rockets, thrust, pressurization,
and carbon dioxide.
