NASA Earth to Orbit Thermal Protection System Design Challenge
FREE NASA CURRICULUMThe Design ChallengeYou will present students with a challenge: build a structure from aluminum foil and copper screening that will protect a model of the X-33 from the heat of a propane torch for as long as possible. Students first measure the “protec- tion time” of an unprotected model. Then they design, build, test, and revise their own thermal protection systems. They document their designs with sketches and written descriptions. As a culmination, students compile their r

Olympics Physics Activity based on Michael Phelps
This activity or project is a follow up to watching a Michael Phelps Race to enage students with a real world physics problem. This activity uses calculations to determine average speed, analyze data from different races, predict and calculate his performance in the individual medley, and compare predicted to actual results. My students found this a much more interesting problem than the typical rolling a car or ball down a ramp. I hope you will find it useful in your class!

MOMENTUM LEARNING MODULE
Momentum is an easy concept for students to grasp. Momentum is “mass in motion.” Inertia is a related concept (the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion), but they differ in the fact that still objects have inertia (because an object at rest tends to stay at rest), but only moving objects have momentum. This lesson uses the concepts of linear momentum to help the students analyze the behavior of moving objects.
