The Math of Missiles and Rockets
Throwing an object across the classroom is an example of a parabolic trajectory. Students will be able to experiment with a tennis ball, with paper and later on, with a constructed mini-rocket.
Use of Standards Based Grading for an Inquiry Lab on Chemistry of Airbags
In this 8th grade physical science laboratory activity about chemical reactions, students are challenged to: 1) create a reaction that would be suitable to deploy a car's airbag; and 2) construct a model of an airbag that will provide enough cushion to protect a hard-boiled egg.
