Air Hydraulic Marble Mazes
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 hydraulic system using syringes and tubing that they will use to maneuver the marble through the maze. Students will then describe how Newton's Laws of Motion are applied to the marble.

This is a lesson designed for 4th and 5th grade. It would come at the end of the unit on Force and Motion. It describes a wonderful machine called a Rube Goldberg Machine. This lesson includes an ELA
In this hands-on lesson, students will attempt two builds. Students will identify weaknesses and strengths in both of their structures. They will then evaluate the effectiveness of their builds.
Simple Machines Save the Day
In this lesson students read about simple machines and learn that simple machines make it easier to lift or move things and that they can change direction and magnitude of force. Students use LEGOs to
