Racing Cars: How Mass Affects Speed and Distance
This is a two-part lesson using pull back cars. Students will change the mass of their pull back cars to determine if the mass affects the distance they travel or their speed. This engaging lesson incorporates a variety of standards and gives students an opportunity to explore energy concepts and motion!

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data
