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...

Electrical Energy

Document: Energy and Electric Field Activity-1 Abstract: Use this applet for a couple of minutes. Add multiple charges using the “add” button. To adjust the sign or mass of a charge to be added, you must first click on the “Properties” button, make your change and click “done”. The next charge you add will reflect your change. For some reason...
