This design challenge is broken up into four parts, this is part four. This lesson will focus on sharing each group’s design and discussing their iterations (Share). In order to successfully execute
Engage your students by learning about the Ferris Wheel and constructing a ferris wheel in a collaborative assignment. The informational text of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel is linked for your convenience
This lesson introduces 5th grade students to forces and motion using "floating" magnets on a dowel and a Newton's cradle. Students will also be introduced to Newton's 3 laws of motion and contact vs
This design challenge is broken up into four parts, this is part three. This lesson will focus on completing the build and evaluating/revising the device that groups began building in the previous
Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.
Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
In this lesson students learn about forces and motion by designing cars with materials provided in the Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars materials. Students will measure distance driven, reflect
Students will use Lakeshore Learning's Design & Play STEM Kit - Planes to explore aerodynamics and investigate how to modify plane design to go further distances.
Students will create a balloon-powered car out of found objects to demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion, that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Students will also test to
