by Amsavalli Thangavel
This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After, each kid has to write an analysis paper on their observations, results, and what they've learned from the project.
