Restricting Sound Waves
In this lesson students will discuss how contact forces cause energy to be transferred and objects to move. They will learn that sound waves involve contact forces. Students will consider how contact forces are involved in sound traveling and how they might be able to stop sound from traveling. Students will conduct experiments designed to keep as much sound from traveling from a speaker to a decibel meter as possible. And finally students will identify similarities between good soundproofing setups in order to hypothesize why they worked.

This lesson will implement chain reactions and simple machines into a Rube Goldberg invention. Students will learn about the Rube Goldberg and his crazy inventions. They will then create their own
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 plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper
