Energy for Free: Perpetual Motion Machines
High schoolers observe the "drinking bird" perpetual motion machine and critically examine the designs of other so-called perpetual motion machines. They use this experience to create their own definition of conservation of energy.
Curated OER
The Spin Doctor Is In
Students are introduced to rotational inertia with some example of objects that rotates: Throw a Frisbee acroos the field and it rotates as it moves. The same is true for a baseball and a football. The two motions, translational and...
Curated OER
Aerodynamic drag
Learners construct a device that can launch spinning balls. One example would be a mailing tube with one side partially cut away, lined with sandpaper. Styrofoam balls should be used for the greatest effet. They are explained how a...
Curated OER
Orienteering I
Students are introduced to compass work. They name the parts of a compass. Students describe how the parts of a compass are used. They are shown the proper way to hold a compass. Students are shown that-a-way arrow and its purpose.
