Investigating Newton's 2nd Law
Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movement.
In this lesson, students discover:
1. Equivalent force may result in varied effects on the speed of diverse objects.
2. An object's velocity can be ascertained by dividing the distance it travels by the time taken to cover that distance.

This lesson gives students another real life example of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Students will use force diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion to find their apparent weight as they
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy
