Crush that Can!
Students will make a connection between force, mass, and acceleration (more so velocity). They will design and conduct an experiment to explain how different sized rocks have different outcomes on aluminum cans, this shows the connection between force and mass. They will follow up with an activity where they drive cars with different masses to see how it affects acceleration.

Penny Pendulums
This is a simple and effective 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
This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for
Students will use their knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion to design and build a "ski jump" for a Sphero Bolt. This activity can be used for Science, Social Studies, Engineering, and (possibly)
