This course combines 5 of our most popular physics courses in order to engage students in hands-on experiments. The experiments and projects have been designed to illustrate the principles being discussed while providing a hands-on experience for the students to experience how physics plays a role in our every day lives. Day 1 - All About Air: Students investigate the properties of air using balls, balloons, bags and even a hair dryer! Participants will learn that air takes up space, has...
This course was designed to be delivered in a classroom setting and provides information that supports the following New York State Next Generation Science Learning Standards. 1-PS4-2. Make observations (firsthand or from media) to construct an evidence-based account that objects can be seen only when illuminated. 1-PS4-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light. 2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 3-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. 3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. 3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. 3-PS2-4. Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets. 4-PS3-1. Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object. 4-PS3-2. Make observations to provide evidence that energy is conserved as it is transferred and/or converted from one form to another. 4-PS3-3. Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide. 4-PS3-4. Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. 4-PS4-2. Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen. 4-LS1-1. Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. 4-LS1-2. Use a model to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways. 5-PS1-1. Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. 5-PS1-3. Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. 5-PS2-1. Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down. MS-PS2-1. Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects. MS-PS2-2. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. MS-PS2-3. Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. MS-PS2-5. Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. MS-PS3-1. Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. MS-PS3-6. Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred by electric currents. MS-PS4-2. Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
1 file available upon enrollmentSome of the classes will also require you to print our files from the classroom and cut them out for your student to use during class. Day 1: Optional - Hair dryer, ping pong ball (or light hollow ball) for demonstration of Bernoulli’s Principle Golf ball/bouncy ball, balloon, empty soda/water bottle, 2 inch strip of paper Day 2: Aluminum foil, tape, D-cell battery, small single light bulb (suck as from a flashlight or holiday light string), magnets for experiment, 3-4 objects to experiment with (chose some that should react to the magnets and some that shouldn't such as utensils, tweezers, baking tray, jar lid, paper clip, non-metal spoon, plastic toys, glass, rubber) Day 3: Rounds for humming toy (paper and cardboard or cardstock cut out into 10" rounds or two dinner size paper plates), string, pens, decorating materials (markers are the easiest), glue stick. Day 4: Optional items for class experiments: prism, flashlight, mirror, laser, cup with water, pencil, spoon. Materials for Thaumatrope project: Image printed on card stock and cut out, 2 thin rubber bands or string, hole puncher (alternately if you don't have a hole puncher you can use a pencil and tape) Day 5: Paper towel tubes, Tape, Marble/small ball, Cardboard/index cards
