Newton's Cradle Design Challenge: Part 2
In this hands-on lesson, students will work together to build a system where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e. Newton’s Cradle). Students continue the work that began in Lesson 1 where they brainstormed and sketched out a design with a group. Students use the engineering design process as they construct their build. There is a lab sheet for students to record data included with this lesson.

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
Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy
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
