Fun Gravity Lab Report (Measure Jump on Earth, Moon, Other Planets)

Description

This is an extremely fun lab where students figure out how high they can jump on the Moon, Mars, & Jupiter. It includes 2 pages both front & back with all the directions needed to walk them through step by step. A breakdown of the lab listed below:

Page 1 Front - Includes background information about gravity, work, and asks the question, "How high can you jump on the Moon?" Then at the bottom is where students start by making predictions about how high they think they can jump on the moon and other planets and then they write an If Then Because hypothesis explaining their predictions.

Page 1 Back - Starts by converting mass from lbs to kg. Then students calculate weight in Newton's. Next students jump 3x recording each jump and calculate their average. Then they calculate amount of work needed to jump that high. Then they calculate the force of their weight on the Moon. Then they'll use that information with the W = F x D formula to calculate how high they could jump on the Moon (distance).

Page 2 Front - Student repeat previous process to calculate height they could jump on Mars & Jupiter.

Page 2 Back - Student graph and analyze results (including sources of error).

Standards

NGSSMS-PS2-2

Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units. Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame, and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.

NGSSHS-PS2-1

Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. Assessment is limited to one-dimensional motion and to macroscopic objects moving at non-relativistic speeds. Examples of data could include tables or graphs of position or velocity as a function of time for objects subject to a net unbalanced force, such as a falling object, an object sliding down a ramp, or a moving object being pulled by a constant force.
