What are Newton's 3 laws of motion? Where do you see energy transfer and transformation? How can you show kinetic and potential energy and how they can change into each other? What do speed and acceleration graphs looks like? Lab activities dig into these questions.
Are Your Students Engaged?
Are you looking for a way to engage kids in their science learning? Are you eager to see your students become scientists in your classroom?
That's the goal of this course...
Activity Highlights
Test the concept of inertia using a series of super fun activities like pulling a tablecloth out from under a set of dishes.
We all know that seatbelts are important, and here we get to see the science behind them. Like so many hands-on labs, it's memorable.
Are you familiar with Newton's cradle? A lab in this collection has directions for making them for pennies. And the kids can do it themselves--win win.
Projectile or ballistic movement can be difficult to study without the right equipment. This collection contains instructions for making great launchers with stuff you have already and it's super fun!
Newton's 3rd law (like all the motion laws) are always at play but this can be a tough one to show experimentally. Here's a couple of easy demos that help kids visualize what's going on.
