Introduction:
Why are roller coasters exciting? Why do dominoes fall down? Why is a slinky so fun to watch? The answer is physics!
This curriculum allows both upper elementary and middle school students to conduct experiments with marbles, dominoes, slinkys and tops while exploring such concepts as gravity, inertia, kinetic and potential energy.
Each of the ten one-hour lessons (or "Days") in this curriculum explains and demonstrates one or more physics concepts.
Course Outline:
Day 1- Fun with Gravity
Day 2-Basketball on the Moon
Day 3-Friction
Day 4-Inertia
Day 5-Slinky Physics
Day 6-Rotational Inertia
Day 7- Momentum
Day 8-Potential & Kinetic Energy
Day 9-Inertia & Momentum
Day 10-Bernoulli's Principle
