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.
