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.

This lesson will implement chain reactions and simple machines into a Rube Goldberg invention. Students will learn about the Rube Goldberg and his crazy inventions. They will then create their own
This is a 7th grade Science and Math lesson about how energy flows through a circuit. Students investigate variables that affect the strength of the electrical fields.
In this hands-on lesson, students explore designing bridge prototypes with spaghetti to find weak points and redesign a new prototype. This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3.
