Falling Objects Lab
This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea of gravity back to Earth processes learned earlier in the school your when learning about the cycling of matter and flow of energy in the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Students will then create and test their hypothesis about how objects of different masses will fall when dropped from the same height. This is student centered, with teacher support mainly occurring when making mathematical connections to Newton's Second Law.

In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
This is the 2nd lesson is a 2-part series. Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise
In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
