Physics Learning Resources - Advancing Physics
Grades
K to 12In the Classroom
After exploring an APS lesson on forces or motion, have students design and build a simple device, such as a paper roller coaster, a balloon-powered car, or a marble run. Students can test variables, collect data, and explain the physics behind their results. Have students watch an APS video or read an article about a current scientific discovery. Students can summarize the findings, identify the scientific questions being investigated, and discuss how evidence supports the conclusions. Students can work in teams to create a model exhibit that teaches visitors about a physics concept such as energy, magnetism, light, or motion. Exhibits may include demonstrations, diagrams, hands-on components, and informational displays to teach others about the topic.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
