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.

This lesson is designed for Day 3. Students use outside resources to modify and test helmet effectiveness with Pocketlab sensors. In this hands-on lesson, students will create a prototype and run
Penny Pendulums
This is a simple and effective lesson that explores the science behind pendulums. Students make a basic pendulum to explore the variables of mass and string length and compare results to their
