The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
This is a 7th grade Science and Math lesson about how energy flows through a circuit. Students investigate variables that affect the strength of the electrical fields.
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
