Hands-on labs are approximately 45 minutes in length.
Mass and Motion LabWork in groups to build a bobsled! Time how long it takes to travel down the track. What variables can you change to make it go faster or slower?
Video Controllers for Humanity! Learn about circuitry and the design process through the creation of video game controllers. Using Makey Makeys, students will create their own controllers based on socially impactful and challenging parameters. No controller is complete until it’s been tested, so buckle down to evaluate your creation – all in the name of science!
Egg Drop Challenge LabDesign a structure that can protect an egg from a two-story drop while exploring kinetic and potential energy as well as energy transfer.
