Balancing Act
This lesson aims to introduce the concept of equilibrium point by creating and revising a model.
This hands-on lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of equilibrium and balance while promoting consensus-building within their small groups. It encourages critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills, which are essential in the scientific process.
I use this lesson early in the year and refer back to it when creating force diagrams. It is a great introductory lab to start modeling consensus building in the classroom.

Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
A high school physics plan that allows students to explore with different lenses and lasers.
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
