Roller coaster
In this project, we are going to design a roller coaster for straw balloons. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 5.1 Forces and motion 2.5.1.1 give examples of movementdifferent bodies at different speeds;2.5.1.2 use of qualitative characteristics when explaining speed (fast, slow);
Why do day and night change?
Students will learn about the change of day and night with the rotation of the Earth around its axis and design a 3D model of the Sun and Earth. Subsections of the Model Curriculum Learning objectives 4.3 Space and time 2.4.3.1 distinguish between base unitstime measurements;2.4.3.2 explain distance featuresand time in space
Lifting crane
About Course In this project, pupils will make a heavy-duty crane that solves one of mankind’s toughest problems. They will know from the crane that different volumes and weights of objects can vary according to the movement or low high lifting speed, the force expended.
What is the distance between the planets?
About Course In this lesson you will create a planetary model of the solar system and model their distances to scale. You will determine the distances between the planets.
Spinning eclipse wheel
About Course In this project students will learn about the Earth’s natural satellite. They will also learn about solar and lunar eclipses, and whether people can see an eclipse!
Honeycombs
About course This project shows the connection of nature with mathematical laws on the example of bees. A hexagon is a polygon with six sides. The lesson addresses the question “Why do bees build their combs in the shape of a hexagon?”. Students also make honeycombs from various shapes and improve their understanding of the types of angles.
