P3: Net Force

This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

In this interactive lesson, students take three days to create a maze using Gravitrax kits and pieces. Students then use their maze to create a model and explain where they see Newton's Laws of Motion

In this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a balloon powered car that travels at least 5 feet. This is a fun and engaging way for students to experience science in

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

Students discover kite-making in this hands-on lesson! They create a kite with a variety of materials and test out the final product. This lesson can be adapted to fit different grade levels.

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

Students will use multiple modes of learning to learn about how force is affected by mass changes. The book Newton and Me will be read aloud and used for a discussion. Finally students will construct

Students will design balloon rockets in order to solidify an understanding of Newton's Third Law of Motion . Students will develop an investigation question and then perform their investigation. For
