Opposites Attract: Forces act on Objects at a Distance
Students use magnets to investigate how unseen forces can act on an object. Students explore with magnets and work to design an investigation and create a model and explanation for how forces act on an object. This lesson is a good introductory lesson for students working on the SEP of Asking Questions, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, Developing Models, and Using Mathematical and Computational Thinking skills. Students will be using Cross-Cutting Concepts of Cause and Effect.

On day one, students will learn the history of the boomerang. Then on day two, the students will engineer and design their boomerang. Finally, the students will fly their boomerangs.
The goal of this engaging science lesson is to deepen students' understanding of magnets, electromagnetic forces, and their practical applications in real-world technology. Aligned with the 7.P2U1.1
This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
