In this middle school investigation, students figure out how a change in the direction and speed of the wind affects the motion of a land boat.
The Land Sailing kit includes all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for eight groups of students.
Materials :
- Carts
- Paper Sails
- Sail Attachment
- Fans
- Cloth Measuring Tape
Standards:
NGSS: MS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
MS-PS2-2. | Plan 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. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.] |
