The Statics Practicum
An unknown mass is hung from the "Y" shaped string. To the top of one side of the "Y", the string is connected to a force sensor/spring scale. Using the reading from the force sensor/spring scale and the angles between each string and the vertical, the students will use vector analysis to solve for the unknown mass.

This hands on activity uses calorimetry to determine the calorie content of snack food. Different samples of snack foods are burned and the temperature change of surrounding water is measured. This
In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
