Newton's Laws

This is Task 4 (Lesson 4) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room." Students will construct a marshmallow device to propel marshmallows at force and collect

In this engaging lesson, students research ramp usage as a class, identify the problem of Dash Dot vs stairs, design a ramp for a Dash Dot, and test the ramp while making connections to literature and

In this engaging lesson, students explore the forces of flight and use the Engineering Design Process to improve the flight times and distance traveled with a paper airplane. Resources are included

Students will use multiple modes of learning to learn about how force is affected by mass changes. The book Newton and Me will be read aloud and used for a discussion. Finally students will construct

A mixture of 5E lessons on Nearpod and an accompanying hands-on activity to help students see that gravity works at a distance and is affected by mass. Students will be writing a conclusion based on

Students will design balloon rockets in order to solidify an understanding of Newton's Third Law of Motion . Students will develop an investigation question and then perform their investigation. For

This lesson has an emphasis on explaining what is force. It also has an emphasis on explaining how you can see and measure force. For this lesson you need several empty plastic bottles, rubber bands

This is Task 1 (Lesson 1) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing a mini zip-line after reviewing concepts. Students will

Connect real world situations to the graphs of parabolas through flight. Groups will create PVC stomp rockets, collect data of their rocket's flight path and graph this path on paper to compare to
