Science Buddies: Balloon Car
Young scholars will design, build, and race balloon-powered cars in this fun lesson that teaches about engineering design and kinetic and potential energy.
TeachEngineering
Teach Engineering: Collisions and Momentum: Bouncing Balls
As a continuation of the theme of potential and kinetic energy, this lesson introduces the concepts of momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions. Many sports and games, such as baseball and ping-pong, illustrate the ideas of momentum...
