Catapult: Kinetic and Potential Energy
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data analysis, students will gain a deeper understanding of energy transfer and mechanical work.

Students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete. Students will be timed. Math vocabulary will be
This is a multiple day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will
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
