STEM Space Moon Crater Design Challenge (Engineering Design Process)
Can your team of astronauts work together to land a rover in the center of a crater on the Moon? This engaging STEM challenge is a fun way to incorporate the engineering design process into your classroom or afterschool program! Students use the engineering design process and explore the forces of motion to place a ball in a cup at the center of a 6 foot diameter circle without entering the circle. This challenge represents placing a NASA rover into the middle of the Apollo lunar crater for expl

Balloon Car - Newton's Laws of Motion at Work - Physics Project
This lab is super inexpensive and so much fun! Students construct a “car” that runs on the power of a single balloon expelling air. Most of the materials are scavenged – water bottles, bottle caps, straws, etc. The activity takes 120 minutes including testing, data collection, and completing the lab questions for the easier version ad 150 minutes for the advanced version. This is real science with real calculations.

Work and Power Worksheet and/or Lab- Walking the Stairs
Try out this ready-made worksheet on work and power in climbing a set of stairs. It contains sample data for students walking the stairs. Students use their weight in lbs and convert it to kg and then newtons. The students then calculate the work done and the power generated. I have also included a lab sheet if you want to do the lab yourselves. It's great fun! It's one of the student's favorite labs.
