Newton's Cradle Design Challenge: Part 2

No votes have been submitted yet.

In this hands-on lesson, students will work together to build a system where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e. Newton’s Cradle). Students continue the work that began in Lesson 1 where they brainstormed and sketched out a design with a group. Students use the engineering design process as they construct their build. There is a lab sheet for students to record data included with this lesson.
