Balloon Vehicle Hands On Activity

Document: Balloon Vehicle Hands-on Activity1 (1) Abstract: Make a vehicle using the materials provided. This vehicle should do the following: Use wind power from the balloon to supply a force to move the vehicle travel in a straight line.

Speed Investigation Activity

Document: Speed Investigation Activity Abstract: Student investigates speed as an important variable regarding force of an impact. Students roll a car down a ramp and into a block of wood. The distance the car travels, the time until impact and the distance the block moves are recorded. The speed of the car is calculated. Students are asked to design and perform...

Periodic Trends Puzzle

Document: Chemistry Unit 2 – Finding Patterns Abstract: This unit, Finding Patterns, takes an inquiry approach to understanding the patterns of properties that exist among the elements. These patterns in properties are then linked to the wave-mechanics concept of atomic structure and the quantum atom. Beginning with isotopes and average atomic mass, as a way of understanding the importance of the...
