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
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.
Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower
Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They
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
Students will construct a straw rocket launcher that utilizes air pressure as the force to push the rocket through the air. A STEM journal will guide them through planning an investigation. Students
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
This is a series of lessons that help students understand forms of energy, energy transfer, and energy transformations. Through a series of inquiry based lessons, starting with the phenomenal Newton's
