Product Details

Whether you’re lifting a box, playing hockey or flying to the moon, your physical motion and interactions are governed by Newton’s laws! In this activity-stations lab, students investigate inertia, force and acceleration using air pucks, carts and pulleys with hanging weights and balloon rockets, respectively. Each independent mini-lab activity takes 10–15 minutes to complete, and students may rotate through the stations in any order.

Activities include:
  • Exploring Inertia and Newton’s First Law
  • Newton’s Second Law—Mass versus Acceleration
  • Optimizing Balloon Rockets Using Newton’s Third Law
Kit includes equipment and consumable supplies required to set up two stations for each activity—six student groups may be accommodated at one time! Teacher Notes with sample data and answers to all questions as well as comprehensive background information and reproducible student handouts, are provided. Activity-stations lab format lets you do more labs in less time!

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-2: Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-4: Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy.
HS-PS3-2: Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motion of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative position of particles (objects).
