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.

This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along
