Description
Experiment with using ramps and Newton’s Second Law of Motion and then build your own ramp in this fabulous STEM Challenge! Students love this one! This is more than a STEM Challenge! Students experiment with ramps and then use their data to design and build their own ramp. Can they use that data to their benefit?
What is the challenge?
- This STEM Challenge will have your students experimenting with cars and ramps.
- They will test ramp heights and what happens when weight is added to the cars.
- Finally, they will use their data as they design and build their own ramps.
- How does Newton’s laws of Motion fit in this? How high should a ramp be? What happens if you use too much weight? What happens if your ramp is too steep? Does a ramp need side rails? How do you make a smooth transition at the end of the ramp? All questions that will be part of this challenge!
What is included?
- The lesson guide provides a materials list, a preparation list, extra information about Newton’s Laws in simple language, and step-by-step lesson procedures to follow to make this a great experience.
