Document: Newtonian Vehicle Abstract: You will design, build, and test a self-propelling vehicle that can travel a minimum distance of one meter. When designing the vehicle, sketch a diagram showing how it will be propelled (balloon, rubber band, mousetrap, etc.) and the forces that act on the vehicle when it is stationary and moving. After building and testing the vehicle, write...

Document: Sound Wave Lab Abstract: Cut a piece of string about half a meter long and tie it to the neck of a metal hanger. Wrap each end of the string around a finger on each hand about the same amount. Swing the hanger so that it strikes a desk or table. Observe and describe the sound as you hear it through the...

Document: Collisions Abstract: Welcome to this science exercise. We hope that you will find it interesting and worthwhile. Carefully read through these directions and the directions on the next page before you begin to work.

Documents: Science Unit 3 (Revised)-5 Abstract: Unit three is Exploring Change, specifically bonds, energy, and reactions.  The change to be investigated will include indicators of chemical reactions as they relate to chemical bonding and energy changes. Chapters 7 and 8 cover ionic and covalent bonding respectively, while chapters 9 and 19 are the introduction to stoichiometry, chemical reactions. Again, a review...

Documents: Introduction to Waves Lab Abstract: Stretch your spring out to a length of 6.1 meters (20 floor tiles, each floor tile is 0.305 meter), with one person at each end. With your free hand, grasp the spring about 50 cm from the end. Pull the spring straight back towards the end of the spring, compressing the spring. Then release the spring,...
