If you have a ticker tape, this activity will energize your future physicists. They push automobiles and measure the required force, then compare it to the distance and velocity recorded on the tape. Mini lab carts are also used to explore energy, work, and force relationships. The National Science Teachers Association has engineered an excellent series of physics activities that come complete with assessment options. Check this and others out!
