Students will be using simple equipment to demonstrate the 3 laws of motion. They will be incorporating technology, math, and the scientific method to demonstrate what they know.
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
This lesson plan is part 1 of 4. This lesson focuses on how Newton's Laws apply to rocket launches as well as what forces are present at three different stages of launch. Additional lessons will be
This is the culminating activity of the 8 part lesson series on simple machines. Students will put together everything they have learned about each individual simple machine to create a complex chain

In this lesson students will: Identify wedges in our world; Discuss how wedges make work easier; Plan and construct a canoe of their own design that incorporates a wedge shape to make it more
In this lesson students will: Identify wheels and axles in our world; Discuss how wheels and axles make work easier; Plan and construct a wind powered care of their own design that uses wheels and
In this lesson, students will: Identify levers in our world; Discuss how levers make work easier; Plan and construct a catapult that uses a lever Provide and receive feedback through peer critiques
In this lesson, students will: Identify inclined planes in our world; Discuss how inclined planes make work easier; Plan and construct a marble maze of their own design that uses inclined planes
In this lesson, students will: Identify pulleys in our world Discuss how pulleys make work easier Plan and construct an elevator of their own design that incorporates a pulley Provide and receive
This lesson serves as the introduction to an 8 lesson series or unit on simple machines. This series will present dozens of activities to introduce your students to simple machines, culminating in the
Students will use the projects from lessons 2 and 3 to analyze the data of the electric cars they made. They will identify the variables in their cars and plan improvements to their designs.
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They
This lesson shows how to make an electric car using a small motor and battery. Students created a car, attached a battery and on/off switch, and collected data. The data collection sheet is included
This is the fourth and fifth lessons of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from

Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movements. Students discover: 1. Equivalent force may result in varied effects on the
Students learn about kinetic and potential energy using cardboard cars and catapults, including the science and math concepts behind them, as they prepare for the associated activity in which they
In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes
This lesson aims to introduce the concept of equilibrium point by creating and revising a model. This hands-on lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of equilibrium and balance while
Students will brainstorm, and make predictions of why an airplane can fly. The teacher will present the knowledge of aerodynamics to the students using video , and giving them opportunity to process
