Students will construct paper bridges with pennies acting as weight to see the proportionality between the amount of pennies it takes to collapse the bridge. Students graph their results to see a
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
Students are provided with recycled materials and given the challenge to built a boat that will carry weight and sail across a container without sinking. Students will learn about buoyancy and what
This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After
Students determine the period of rotation for the flying pig toy using formulas derived throughout the circular motion unit.
Students carry out a lab activity to determine Hooke's Law and investigate spring constants.
This lesson provides students with examples of balanced and unbalanced forces and helps them understand the resulting motion of an object. Students view a PowerPoint, take notes, complete a couple
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!
