Students will use these collision carts multiple times throughout our entire unit on Forces and Motion. We will be working not only on physics concepts, but planning and carrying out investigations, collecting data, and drawing conclusions with supporting evidence. With phenomenon-based instruction, students are the ones who generate the questions and plan the experiments. These carts will help students figure out concepts like elastic and inelastic collisions, Newton's 3 Laws of motion, and momentum. Nothing can replace the impact of first-hand experience on learning scientific concepts. The students will not only be able to see different types of collisions, but they will also manipulate variables that THEY want to test. The experiments, and therefore the learning, become their own.
