Hold on Tight!

Students test the adhesive strength of different tapes. In this adhesive lesson, students conduct an experiment to test the shear strength of the adhesives, take measurements, record data, and draw conclusions to explain each product's...

Students test the stickiness of natural substances. In this adhesion as a property of matter lesson, students build a tool to test the adhesion of natural "glues" such as honey, peanut butter, flour and water paste, and jelly. Students...

Learners explain how manufactured products depend on its function for a purpose.  In this sticky tape lesson students test the strength of different tapes, take measurements and record data. 

You won't regret being stuck with this activity. By mixing a variety of household items, pupils create their own glue. They test the tensile strength of their glue and compare it to that of other adhesives.

Mr. Vanden Heuvel is in the bathroom again! This time he examines the strength of atmospheric pressure with a classic demonstration of filling a glass with water in the sink to reveal the column that fills the glass. Then he places a...

Students test the adhesive properties of different sticky tapes. In this chemistry lesson, students collect data from the experiment by measuring how far the marble rolls down the track. They share their findings to the class.
