After building catapults out of everyday objects, students will launch various objects from the catapults to demonstrate their understanding of motion and forces. This lesson is a fun way of teaching students about physics and might spark their interest in the field of engineering. http://school.discoveryeducation.com/lessonplans/programs/motionforces/
Determining Area of Origin So far, you have practiced calculating: the angle at which a blood droplet hit a wall at the area of convergence: the point on the wall (in 2-dimensional space) that various blood droplets’ lines of retreat come together the area of origin: the point in space where the blood spatter came from. (ex. A head 6 feet off the ground and 4 feet from the wall) on a two-dimensional scaled drawing Now, you can practice a real scenario. Each group will be given a …
Challenge your students to work together in groups as scientists investigating viruses. As scientists, the students will be challenged to invent ways of safeguarding against viruses. After the lesson, they'll have a better understanding that: 1. A virus is an infectious organism that reproduces within the cells of an infected host. 2. A virus is not alive until it enters the cells of a living plant or animal. 3. A virus contains genetic information wrapped in a protein coat. 4. …
