Motion

This is a simple lesson that explores the science behind pendulums. Students make a basic pendulum to explore the variables of mass and string length and compare results to their knowledge of the

This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for

This thematic unit has lessons which will introduce students to phenomena we encounter in the real world. Students will learn about high interest phenomenon through hands-on investigations. Students

In this creative engineering design lesson, students are challenged to use an inclined plane to create a safe and exciting zipline park for Zippy the Elf. This lesson reviews simple machines and has

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 engaging lesson, students explore the concept of position (Hayu') vs. time (nkez) graphs through a hands-on car motion (Buggy) activity. Using the Buggy on a marked track, students measure and

The Parachute design lesson involves students learning about the engineering design process, air resistance, and parachute principles before planning and constructing their own parachutes. Through

Launch into a fun activity! Students will be building a rocket, then blow into the straw inserted and watch how high their rocket flies. This fun activity can be done indoor or outdoor. Students can
