PROJECTILE MOTION IN ACTION: How To Make a Spy Balloon Catapult
This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are expected to:
1. Explain how a net force is required for an object’s movement to change.
2. Develop a mathematical model, using Newton’s laws, to predict the motion of an object in two dimensions ( projectile and circular motion.)
3. Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to serve human ends.
4. Investigate and explain projectile motion.
5. Collaborate, communicate effectively with their group mates and use creativity and critical thinking skill to complete an engineering design
6. Design and engineer catapult blades that shoot down a spy balloon.

From this lesson, students will discover how friction affects how things move. This is an excellent activity that will allow students to be creative and build a marble run to show friction. This
This is a 5th grade force and motion lesson plan. It uses roller coasters to help students develop real-life connections to the ideas of motions, and balanced & unbalanced forces. It allows them to
Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
