The Physics of LEGO Skiing
Students (over 2-3 days) use BricQ parts and pieces to create a lab to test how mass affects the distance a Lego piece will travel. This hands-on lesson was designed to introduce Newton’s law #2. Force is equal to mass times acceleration. Ideally, they should see that the more mass added to skier, the greater the distance he will travel.
