In this hands-on lesson, students identify Newton’s Laws of Motion, analyze the difference between force and motion, compare balloon car designs with group mates and demonstrate how to design and test
Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
This design challenge is broken up into four parts, this is part four. This lesson will focus on sharing each group’s design and discussing their iterations (Share). In order to successfully execute
