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 use engineering, art, science, and 21st century skills to create a support system to keep Santa safe on Christmas while delivering gifts down the chimney!
This is the 3rd lesson in a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will design and build a roller coaster that fits the criteria and follows a budget. Students will
Radioactive Orbs
This lesson focuses on using the engineering design process and simple machines to design a device that the students can use to safely transport radioactive orbs across the span of 8 feet. Students
