Science of Spin (PPT) - This lesson was developed for use during our Nature of Science unit, but could be used as a fun day activity before winter vacation.  The acitivty challenges students to make observations of a spinning "tube" or "redneck fidget spinner" (as I call them), which are pieces of PVC pipe (1/2" diameter, 2.5" long).   The first slide of the PPT includes a link to the video lesson I used with my remote students, the digital assignment for students (Google Slides), and a link to a great resource to provide background information for teachers to help implement this activity in their classroom.  

Interactive Notebook Page - Includes samples of my digital INBs for back-to-school and Science Starters!  You'll also find links to a Digital ISN resource page and FAQs.
