Enable middle school students to think and act like real scientists

Science or STEM teachers who want to bring an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to their middle school classrooms can enable their students to think and act like real scientists with Science Kit Physics Lab. Developed in partnership with Google, the kit and nine exciting projects challenge students to explore and explain the physics behind amusement park rides, make their own hypotheses, check their assumptions and log data.
Students can make their own hypothesis like a real scientist, then check their assumptions, and log data thanks to Arduino Science Journal (Formally Google’s Science Journal) app — a digital notebook for conducting and documenting science experiments using the unique capabilities of their own devices.

The kit, based on the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, includes a range of sensors to measure light, temperature, motion, and magnetic fields; plus it comes with a set of props and full access to online course content for teachers and students to conduct nine exciting science projects inspired by popular fairground rides like the Gravitron and Pirate Ship. We recommend two students per kit.

Key learning values include:

  • Present experimental data in tables and charts
  • Evaluate a scientific hypothesis
  • Explore possible variables to design an open-ended investigation
  • Distinguish between a conductor and an insulator, and measure resistance and conductivity of different materials
  • Represent magnetic fields through sound
  • Investigate the effect of materials between a magnet and the magnetometer on the strength of magnetic field
  • Compare the thermal conductivity of different materials
  • Identify materials that are thermal conductors or thermal insulators based on experimental observations
  • Describe the motion of a pendulum, measure its period and frequency, monitor its acceleration, and identify the forces acting on it
