This hands-on activity, ‘Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion 3’ asks students to design and make a model which shows how Newton’s second law operates when two objects collide.
This hands-on activity, ‘Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion 3’ asks students to demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion by conducting an experiment in designing and making a slingshot.
This hands-on activity, ‘Pulleys 1’ asks students to build a pulley and investigate how they can provide an advantage when lifting heavy loads.
This hands-on activity, ‘Pulleys 2’ asks students to set up a single and double pulley and investigate how they compare to each other when lifting a load.
This hands-on activity, ‘Pulleys 3’ asks students to investigate and measure how far you need to pull the rope on a single and double pulley to lift the bucket.
This content area reading learning activity, ‘Question Jar,’ gives students practice with questioning. It gives students an opportunity to anonymously jot down questions to which they want answers, but are too embarrassed to ask aloud.
This content area reading learning activity, ‘Questioning Squares,’ helps students practice questioning for different audiences. It has students record key information from their reading, and then think of questions for different audiences.
This hands-on activity, ‘Ramps’ asks students to build a ramp and investigate how its height impacts upon the rolling distance of an object.
This hands-on activity, ‘Revolving Crane Project’ asks students to build Leonardo da Vinci’s revolving crane.
This hands-on activity, ‘Screws 1’ asks students to investigate how a screw is really a ‘rolled up’ ramp.
This hands-on activity, ‘Screws 2’ asks students to investigate how machines we see today use the principle of lifting and lowering something onto a screw.
This hands-on activity, ‘Solar Energy’ asks students to capture energy from the sun and investigate how different materials and colours can absorb and reflect light.
This hands-on activity, ‘Space’ asks students to investigate the concept that mass takes up space.
This hands-on activity, ‘Storing and Releasing Energy 2’ asks students to investigate and observe the relationship between mass and energy.
This hands-on activity, ‘The Gravity-Friction Challenge’ asks students to tackle the two challenges of making a tennis ball return to its original height when dropped and discovering how to move a piece of plasticine across the room.
This hands-on activity, ‘Tools’ asks students to examine objects to find out how simple machines are used to do everyday jobs.
This hands-on activity, ‘Volume 1’ asks students to investigate the concept of volume filling up space.
This hands-on activity, ‘Volume 2’ asks students to investigate how different sized containers affect volume.
This hands-on activity, ‘Water Energy’ asks students to investigate how energy from flowing water can be used to move a boat.
This hands-on activity, ‘Wedges’ asks students to investigate how a wedge can be used to force something apart.
This hands-on activity, ‘Wheels 1’ asks students to build a cart and investigate how wheels help us move load.
This hands-on activity, ‘Wheels 2’ asks students to build a drive belt and investigate how spools can move load.
This hands-on activity, ‘Wheels 3’ asks students to build gears using bottle tops and investigate how they can move load.
This hands-on activity, ‘Wind Energy’ asks students to build a windmill and investigate how wind energy can be captured to create power.
This hands-on activity, ‘Wind Energy Extension’ asks students to record and compare the strength of wind over time.
It�s that easy!
