This unit is designed to be project based, and teach students how forces affect the motion of car as it moves down a ramp. Students will gain deeper understanding of mass, air resistance, gravity, friction, inertia, and acceleration. Students will explore forces through inquiry-based learning where they will design a ramp to carry a car the farthest distance.
This unit plan features a lesson plan/unit overview, and 16 pages of student workbook pages with brainstorming, challenge questions, bra
