Energy Transfer: Ramps
Students will learn about the difference between potential and kinetic energy by building a ramp. Three objects will be tested down the ramp to see which one can go the farthest. Data will be collected, plotted on a line plot, and analyzed. Students will reflect on their designs and define the science terms associated with this lesson.

In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and are provided time to modify their design in order to increase the
Through guided lessons and research, students generate their own circuit review questions by creating a board game that requires designing and building several circuits.
Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.
