Slow Your Roll
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety. Using a graphic organizer and working in small groups, with defined roles, students will design a hands-on investigation of friction observing how friction is different on different surfaces. The provided graphic organizer supports data collection, analysis, relevance, and conclusions. The assessment concludes with a short understanding interview between the teacher and the small student group.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
This lesson can be used to reinforce physical science standards, engineering design concepts, and collaboration. Students will work with a National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run to construct a basic
In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with
