S3: Apply Mathematics to Engineering

This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car

Students learn about passive solar energy and design and build a model of a passive solar house.

Review of Newton’s Laws of Motion Review of potential and kinetic energy. Review of transformational energy. How does mass impact kinetic energy? What is a chain reaction? What is a Rube Goldberg

Potential and kinetic energy. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Transformational energy The history, types, and functions of water wheels Renewable energy? Calculating rate of revolution Sketch and design

This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.

In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.

In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss
