Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
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
Students will use the engineering process to build the sturdiest bridge they can out of foil. Bridges will be tested by putting pennies on them to see how many pennies they can hold before collapsing
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
Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.
Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
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
