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 one lesson in a two part lesson set. In this first lesson, students review balanced and unbalanced forces in preparation for how these forces apply to rockets! They will then research rocket
The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and
