In physical science, there are many experiments of forces and motion that my students are introduced to. As they examine and master Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and from that make real-life connections to give these concepts value in their daily lives - they perform hands on inquiries. One of those experiments involves changing the degree of the angle of the height of a ramp and timing how rapidly an object negotiates the ramp. Being able to accurately time the motion of the objects is imperative to understanding the science and math involved in real-life. Extrapolating from these classroom calculations to how ramp height affects wheel-chair ramp accessibility; how steepness impacts skateboards, bikes, and cars’ motion; and how it must be considered when engineering roads and on-ramps etc., brings the outside world directly into the classroom for the students and the connections are phenomenal!
