Energy Transformation Practice: Reviews Types of Energy and Energy Transfers!
I've done this activity from 7th through 12th grades and it's always entertaining to see what they come up with. Since they're not actually building it, they can really think out of the box (ex- nuclear energy and thermal energy become popular). I usually do this after a lesson on energy and then I will show then the OK Go, "This Too Shall Pass" video as that is the ultimate contraption to model (in my opinion). You may also wish to show them Rube Goldberg examples. Or, modify a bit and simply u

INVESTIGATIVE SCIENCE - Newton's Fascinating Forces
PHYSICS, GENERAL SCIENCE, CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING This workshop is a captivating adventure through Newton's Laws of Motion, designed to ‘pull’ students through the unit with engaging hands-on experiments, rather than ‘pushing’ the information towards them. The overarching theme is that Newtonian physics is counterintuitive; in order to make an assumption based on an observation, students will perform a series of experiments. But first, they'll need to submit a hypothesis. The workshop i
