Phenomenal Forces and Motion
Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of elementary physics work in action. They will also be able to identify each of the three laws and apply the concepts to different examples. The goal is to see who can build a Balloon-Powered Airplane that travels the farthest before coming to a stop. They will follow the engineering design process to design, build, and test their Balloon-Powered Airplanes. This means they do not have to get their Balloon-Powered Airplanes "right" on the first try. They will be allowed to test and redesign their Balloon-Powered Airplane (as much as possible while time allows).

The Parachute design lesson involves students learning about the engineering design process, air resistance, and parachute principles before planning and constructing their own parachutes. Through
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
