Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for
This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted 9 - 12, dual enrollment and AP Physics.
After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to
Student will be able to compare the energy content of two common fuels used for energy production (ethanol and kerosene). Students will work with a partner to investigate the efficiency and
Upon completion of this lesson, the student should know: • The relationship between Bernoulli's Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion and how they were used to develop a machine that could fly. • The
This lesson plan is about structures that are balanced using tension forces. Students will create their own tensegrity structure that will withstand a predetermined amount of weight. Students will
In this lesson, students explore the foundational concepts of electricity, delving into Ohm's Law and the principles of electric power. Through a series of engaging theoretical and practical exercises
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
This lesson gives students another real life example of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Students will use force diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion to find their apparent weight as they
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
This lesson plan provides material for two 90-minute periods. Day one provides guided opportunities to explore chemical equations and day two consists of 10 hands-on stations practicing and applying
By 2028, NASA plans to send a mission to Mars to retrieve samples collected by rovers and return to Earth. Student teams are challenged to build a rover and design a way to retrieve as much cargo as
Classes will build three different types of rockets, guess which style will have the highest altitude, launch and calculate results based on right triangle math!
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety
From this lesson, students will discover how friction affects how things move. This is an excellent activity that will allow students to be creative and build a marble run to show friction. This
With this introductory lesson on Newton's Laws, student will have the opportunity to understand and explain Newton's 3 laws through a hands-on experience. This is an excellent way to introduce physics
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.
Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
