Description |
| Lunar Rover Challenge | In this Engineering Design Challenge, student teams will design a lunar rover. The students will calculate the velocity of the rovers, illustrate the movement through graphs, and complete written explanations. The LRV that can travel the greatest distance wins this challenge. |
| How fast are you? | Use students' competitive natures in this engaging lab on velocity. Students will learn how using a known distance and a measured time for a runner can be used to calculate their velocity. Students will graph the relationship between these two factors to see the correlation as a graphic representation. |
| Olympic Snowboard Design | This MEA requires students to design a custom snowboard for five Olympic athletes, taking into consideration how their height and weight affect the design elements of a snowboard. There are several factors that go into the design of a snowboard, and the students must use reasoning skills to determine which factors are more important and why, as well as what factors to eliminate or add based on the athlete's style and preferences. After the students have designed a board for each athlete, they will report their procedure and reasons for their decisions. |
| Falling for Gravity | Students will investigate the motion of three objects of different masses undergoing free fall. Additionally, students will:
- Use spark timers to collect displacement and time data.
- Use this data to calculate the average velocity for the object during each interval.
- Graph this data on a velocity versus time graph, V-t. They find the slope of this graph to calculate acceleration.
- Calculate the falling object's acceleration from their data table and graph this data on an acceleration versus time graph, a-t.
- Use their Spark timer data paper, cut it into intervals, and paste these intervals into their displacement versus time graph.
|
| Amusement Park Physics | Students will research various types of amusement park rides and use their findings to design a feasible ride of their own. They will summarize their findings and present their ride design to the class. Each student will then write a persuasive letter to a local amusement park describing the reasons their ride design is the best. |
