P2: Objects at a Distance

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

Students will be creating their own testing station for sound waves! Each group will get 5 glasses and will put a different amount of water in each of the glasses. Then the students will tap the glass

In this hands-on lesson, students will explore how speed is calculated, what inertia is and apply it to Newton’s Laws of Motion. They use the engineering design process to construct race cars out of

In this hands-on lesson, students design a safety device (car/seatbelt) that can keep an egg (passenger) safe during a collision. The goal is to protect the egg from cracking during a roll down a ramp

This is Task 4 (Lesson 4) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room." Students will construct a marshmallow device to propel marshmallows at force and collect

In this engaging lesson, students explore the forces of flight and use the Engineering Design Process to improve the flight times and distance traveled with a paper airplane. Resources are included

In this lesson there is an emphasis on explaining how magnets have a force that can move other objects at a distance. Students will first watch a video in which they will be amazed by some magnetic

A mixture of 5E lessons on Nearpod and an accompanying hands-on activity to help students see that gravity works at a distance and is affected by mass. Students will be writing a conclusion based on
