Introduction to Free Body Diagrams + Newton's 3rd Law of Motion -LAB-
The BEST way to teach Normal Force is completing the Aluminum Boat Float Challenge. I ask students to design a "boat" out of aluminum foil. Then stack pennies, rubber stoppers, or any other type of incremental mass to overwhelm the floating capacity of the boat. Students will then draw three Free Body Diagrams: 1) A Free Body Diagram of the boat floating without any additional mass. 2) A Free Body Diagram of the boat floating with the maximum amount of mass ( still floating). 3) A Free B

Intro to Free Fall Investigation
In this hands-on activity, students will explore the principles of free fall by conducting an investigation to determine the rate at which objects fall and whether mass affects this rate. Using simple tools like a meter stick, stopwatch, and a selection of objects, students will work in teams to measure the time it takes for different objects to hit the ground when dropped from a consistent height. Through careful data collection and calculations, students will analyze the acceleration and final
