Gravity Light Design Challenge Overview
Students design, construct, and test a light powered by gravity. The gravity light must change the kinetic energy of a falling mass to transfer from the object to a generator.

Who It’s For:

This design challenge, which comes with all necessary materials, is designed for middle schoolers (6th – 8th grade students). Using the Argument-Driven Inquiry instructional model, students will explore energy and matter, ratio and reasoning, and systems and system models.
