Safe Travels: Exploring Energy in Crashes
This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents.
It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your pacing and any extension opportunities. For 9th grade, we complete the project in 1.5-2 days. Any extra time is spent discussing successful designs and improvements for the “least crashworthy” designs.

Students are introduced to a project that asks them to use classroom materials to create a new form of vision technology. Students review how the eye works, create a plan, and share that plan with
Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They
