Gravity

In this lesson, students will be able to analyze and communicate evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of objects. They conduct research to provide evidence of the

Students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts of balanced and unbalanced forces in this lesson. They will be able to identify the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion

This lesson is the 1st lesson in a series of 3 on balanced and unbalanced forces. Students will learn about the “Wonderland of Rocks” at Chiricahua National Monument near Willcox, Arizona, and view a

In this lesson students will explore engineering skills in the construction of hot air balloons. They will test their creations to see if they will fly/float and make adjustments if needed.

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

Students will begin to construct their containers for their eggs. Students will work together to build their egg protector container using the materials they brought in and that were provided for them

Students will begin designing a container to keep and egg safe when dropped from various heights. As they begin the lesson, students will watch a video and discuss science and engineering practices

This lesson is about building and testing a Ferris Wheel and the history behind it. Students should be familiar with the concepts of forces, motion, and gravity before starting this project. They
