Investigating the Effects of Balanced and Unbalanced Forces: Lesson 2
Students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts of balanced and unbalanced forces in this lesson. They will be able to identify the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion of objects and be able to analyze and communicate evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of objects. They will begin the development of a model in this 2nd lesson in a series of 3.

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.
Students utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat! Students must design and build a sailboat that will get them from one end of the channel where they are stranded to the other. It
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
