This simple but effective lab allows students to observer and draw inferences about diffusion. Students will need three cups set up that are each of the following temperatures (warm, cold, and room temperature). They will need to put one drop of food coloring in each at the same time as well as start a timer once they do so. In one minute increments, the students will record what they see for three minutes total. Students will then reflect on the diffusion of the food coloring being compared in each of the three temperatures. The temperature component can be connect to dissolving easily and the recording change over time is also important.
Materials needed: clear cups (3 per group), some way to both lower and raise temperature of the water prior to experimentation, food coloring, and a timer.

This is an insulator and conductor quiz that has a variety of questions including sorting, multiple choice, and extended response. Students will need to determine if materials are conductors or insulators, will have to compare the two terms and exemplify an understanding of the two.
This is an awesome exploratory learning project for students to learn about and experience color! Students will color two wheels, each with one slice colored in for each color of the rainbow. THIS WILL REQUIRE SOME SORT OF STRING. Thread the string through the two holes as sampled in the ANSWER KEY. Students will then hold each end of the string, and wind up the wheel in the center. When they release the winding, the wheel should spin like a top. Students will then take notes and answer the accompanying questions to describe what they are experiencing. This project will let students explore rainbows, white light, components of light and more!
This is an extremely easily reproducible lab. Find a variety of items and objects to present to a group of students. Allow them to examine them and describe the physical properties they can identify. With that, then have the students create three categories to classify their items into. The students can then be challenged to create three new groups. This lab challenges students to group items and think about how scientists use properties to classify things.
