Roller Coaster Design
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 develop and create a plan to solve the task given to them as a team; create a roller coaster with at least 2 hills and 1 loop. While following a budget along the way, this project incorporates math and ELA concepts into the classroom.

Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and
