Students will work in partners to investigate Newton’s second law by testing a series of experiments with varying conditions.

Students will explore sound energy by creating their own drums using a variety of materials. Then, students will listen for the loud and soft sounds that each of the drums creates.

Students will design and test models that will identify crustal features formed by convergent plate boundaries.

Students will use hover pucks to measure speed over a distance of six meters. Once speed has been calculated, students will determine velocity using the same data. Finally, students will be able to label all points of acceleration.

Students will review the steps of the scientific method and conduct an investigation that involves sorting magnetic and nonmagnetic objects.

Students collaboratively determine how the characteristics of a real-world job correlate with each of Newton’s Laws and why that is relevant to their own lives.

Students will investigate balanced and unbalanced forces through a series of lab stations.
