In this lesson students in 5th grade will learn about the laws of force and motion by designing and constructing a roller coaster. This can be adapted to any grade level. There is a PBS video that is
In this lesson plan the students learn to design, construct and determine weight loads capabilities for their project.
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
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 last part of the evidence of the Big Bang Theory. Students will learn of nucleosynthesis and the products of the big bang. They will watch videos, and engage in activities that model the
This lesson is about Rapunzel who wants to get down from her tower and explore the world. As engineers, you have to build her a structure to escape safely.
In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how
This lesson plan can be adapted to Grades 6-8th (possibly younger as well) Using various Science/Engineering standards and concepts to engage in discussion, creation and testing of designs in an egg
Students explore energy transfer, gravity, and Newton's laws as they engineer a design to reduce the force of impact on an egg dropped from a 6 meter height.
