Investigating Newton's 2nd Law
Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movement.
In this lesson, students discover:
1. Equivalent force may result in varied effects on the speed of diverse objects.
2. An object's velocity can be ascertained by dividing the distance it travels by the time taken to cover that distance.

Intro to magnets purpose: students engage in practical experimentation. The primary objective of this lesson is to acquaint students with the concept that magnetic force can either draw objects closer
This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
