The Physics of LEGO Skiing
Students (over 2-3 days) use BricQ parts and pieces to create a lab to test how mass affects the distance a Lego piece will travel. This hands-on lesson was designed to introduce Newton’s law #2. Force is equal to mass times acceleration. Ideally, they should see that the more mass added to skier, the greater the distance he will travel.

Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.
This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are
This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.
