The Next Generation Science Standards asks students to observe and explain phenomena on a continuous basis. My students need to have the skills to create models that explain scientific phenomena and show their thinking in creative ways. They also need to have the skills to analyze scientific phenomena and apply scientific practices that support their explanations of these phenomena. My main goal is to give students more opportunities to use disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices to design a solution to a problem that is important and meaningful to them. In this project, students will design highway barriers out of consumable items ranging from plastic bottles to styrofoam cups. In order to design and maintain occupants in a car safe during a collision students need to understand forces and motion. The use of the Dynamics Cart and Track System with GO Direct Sensor Cart would help quantify their design in reducing the forces experienced by occupants in an automobile accident. Newton’s laws are central to understanding collisions, including automobile accidents. Newton’s first law explains that a force must act on the car because it comes to a stop; Newton’s second law calculates the magnitude of the force; and Newton’s third law explains why a force is exerted back on the car when it crashes into a stationary object.
