Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

This is the 2nd lesson is a 2-part series. Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise

This is a multiple-day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will
