Using Mathematical Models in Engineering and Science –Using Gears to Learn About Ratios and Proportions
In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use proportional relationships to find the ratios between different gears in a system.

In this engaging lesson, students will use cams to practice data collection and graphing skills. A variety of resources are built into this lesson including a slow reveal graph with directions, videos
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
In this lesson plan, students will make use of their knowledge about gravitational force and factors affecting it to design a stuffed mini parachute that will land the slowest from a given height
