Newton's Cradle Design Challenge Part 3
This design challenge is broken up into four parts, this is part three. This lesson will focus on completing the build and evaluating/revising the device that groups began building in the previous lesson (Build & Evaluate).
In order to successfully execute this lesson, students should have spent the previous lesson beginning to build their agreed upon design.
In this challenge, students will finish building their design and evaluate their device where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e.Newton’s Cradle). At the end of the lesson, students will reflect on their design in writing. It is highly recommended that you make sure that an actual Newton’s Cradle is available for student’s to view as they build and evaluate to help them with any revisions.

This is lesson plan two of three in a skateboard building unit that applies Newtons Laws to skateboarding. Students will learn the parts of a skateboard, construct a simple skateboard, learn safety
In this lesson, students will observe the different ways a sheet of paper can fall. They will face two challenges with paper, the final challenge being to create and test a parachute for a small
