Mass, Friction, and Static!

Help me give my students gram cubes to learn about mass and using balance scales to measure mass and pull back cars and trucks so my students can explore friction.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students love to use their hands to explore science. I have balance scales, but no gram cubes. I have a variety of surfaces, but no toy cars to test the friction of the surfaces. I have confetti, but no balloon to rub on fabric to magically lift the confetti. Please help me to bring these necessary items to our science lab so we can enrich my students' learning. I want the students to be able to use the gram cubes to understand mass as well as the tools we use to measure mass. I know by using the toy cars on different surfaces, they will have an experience with friction that they will enjoy and remember. The balloons allow each student to explore static electricity on their own. All these hands-on activities enhance their learning.
