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 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.
In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
Students will create their roller coaster model, test the transfer of energy, measure the distance of how far their marble traveled and compare their distance to the distance of others. *Printable
