Slow Your Roll
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety. Using a graphic organizer and working in small groups, with defined roles, students will design a hands-on investigation of friction observing how friction is different on different surfaces. The provided graphic organizer supports data collection, analysis, relevance, and conclusions. The assessment concludes with a short understanding interview between the teacher and the small student group.

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
In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with
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
