The Magic of the Euler's Disk
by Kelly Magid
In this lesson, your students will be engaged in learning about forces and motion while using fractions in line plots. Students will record the spin time of different objects, they will display data in a line plot, create their own spinning object, and use their knowledge of forces and motion to design it to have a longer spin time.
