Each year as we discuss Newton’s Laws and Physics, my kids are quickly bored and overwhelmed with all the information. They struggle to see the connections. This year, the kids will engineer their own cars to race with classmates. Students will diagram where each of Newton’s Laws are represented and then calculate the speed of their cars! The trebuchet will be used to hook and engage the students for learning about physics! Kids who finish early will have inquiry time to design experiments using it as well! I know these hands on activities will help my kids grow as engineers and learn Physics!
