Strong as the Weakest Link
Learners recognize that compression and tension forces are important considerations in building structures. They construct their own building structure using marshmellows and spaghetti to see which structure can hold the most weight.
EZ Task
Forces
Investigate force, acceleration, Newtons, and vectors with this worksheet packet that starts with an overview fact sheet for reference. Learners label images as either push or pull forces, indicating if the force causes a change in...
PBS
Invisible Force
Investigate invisible forces. Young engineers design a setup that changes the direction of a steel ball using a magnetic force. The purpose of the setup is to model the gravitational pull of spacecraft by planetary bodies.
