This is a simple lesson that explores the science behind pendulums. Students make a basic pendulum to explore the variables of mass and string length, and compare results to their knowledge of the
In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the
Students will show how mass affects velocity (distance/time). Multiple variables can be changed to provide a story representing Newtons Laws in action.
In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use
This lesson plan is about structures that are balanced using tension forces. Students will create their own tensegrity structure that will withstand a predetermined amount of weight. Students will
Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.
Using the Engineering Design Process, students will design and create a marble maze out of cardboard and cardstock, making sure to include all the required elements. They will then create an air
This project will be a follow up to reinforce Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion, following some explorations prior to this experiment. Students will engage in the Engineering Design Process to create a
Students will be using simple equipment to demonstrate the 3 laws of motion. They will be incorporating technology, math, and the scientific method to demonstrate what they know.
