Egg Drop Challenge | STEM Lab | Physics | Momentum and Impulse
This a great lab that gets the students moving and competing. They will love working with their hands to build something creative. Students will use their knowledge of momentum and impulse to create a contraption around their egg. The project can be done in one lab period and with everyday basic supplies. Or it can be extended to multiple days. I like to do it twice because most people will fail the first time but learn and succeed the second time.Lab Includes (Fully Editable):Students Will: - B

Mobile Project (Torque or Center of Mass)
This is a great project for students on the topic of Center of Mass or Rotational Motion. There is nothing better to solidify the students understanding of Torque/Center of Mass than to have them build a mobile. Many times, students look forward to this project all marking period. This project allows students to use their understanding of Torque/Center of Mass to calculate how to build a mobile. Students are always astonished to see the formulas coming to life as we work on this project.Material
