Newton's Cradle Design Challenge: Part 2
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.

In this engaging lesson, students will research and design rhythm sticks. They will use them in music and PE class to exercise and create music with. This hands-on lesson incorporates multiple areas
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
In this activity, students read about discovering energy and the impact encountered by ships at sea. Students will have the opportunity to read about how lighthouses can solve those problems and
