1. Applying Newton’s Third Law

2. Performance Expectation
Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.
Examples of practical problems could include the impact of collisions between two cars, between a car and stationary objects, between a meteor and a space vehicle.

4. Lesson – Applying Newton’s Third Law
Explore
Students will perform an experiment with a marble, ramp, and displacement block. They will measure the amount of displacement in cm vs mass of the marbles.

5. Lesson – Applying Newton’s Third Law
Explain
Students will create a graph showing the relationship between the number of marbles and the displacement of the block.

6. Lesson – Applying Newton’s Third Law
Elaborate
Create a device to help protect consumers in an accident given a limited amount of material.
Students will be allowed to choose from the following materials: Cardboard, Styrofoam cup, packing peanuts, or bubble wrap. Every group will receive tape.

Teacher directed
Knowledge based
Many standards
Students given answers

10. Lessons Learned / NGSS Advice
It’s going to take time to learn and implement NGSS
Integrating Engineering principles allows the students to explore beyond the standard
Teacher planning will be focused more on what students
