Table-top Mini Golf: STEAM Engineering and Design for Elementary GATE
In From Putt-putt to Pebble Beach--Table-top Mini Golf, students will design and construct a playable table-top sized miniature golf course using the engineering design process. With these lessons, the teacher defines the problem, helps students gather background research, and specifies the requirements. The students do the rest: creating alternative solutions, choosing the best solution, doing development work, building a prototype, and testing and redesigning. The result is a classroom filled

Net Force: Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Practice Problems
I created this net forces worksheet to help my students practice finding the net force and to determine whether forces are balanced or unbalanced. For the first 15 questions, students draw a free body diagram to describe the forces acting on an object. Then, they determine the magnitude and direction of net force and describe whether or not the object's velocity is affected. For the last 5 questions, student summarize how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object's motion. I hope this l

Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems
The Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems has questions and diagrams to really help students break down and understand the meaning of this law of interaction. In the first part, students look at simple examples to describe the action reaction force. Then, they identify the magnitude and direction of the reaction force given the magnitude and direction of the action force. Lastly, they look at several examples including a spring scale, air balloon, and car collision example to explain
