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.

Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this
In this lesson, students focus on the engineering design process to help them design, build, and test a functional bow and arrow system like the character Brian Robeson in the book "Hatchet". Students
In this lesson plan, students will make use of their knowledge about gravitational force and factors affecting it to design a stuffed mini parachute that will land the slowest from a given height
