Planning- Students work together (usually with a partner or in a small group) to come up with a potential solution for the challenge.
Construction- This is the building stage!
Testing- The students test their designs to see if they have solved the problem, and met the challenge.
Evaluation- The students critique their designs and think about what they might change.

The Physics of Amusement Park Rides
By Innovations in Technology
Project based learning fun for middle school and early high school students that focuses on the physics behind amusement park rides.
Students start the unit by researching information about how Newton's Laws of Physics impact the amusement park rides they love. They utilize an online simulation to see how changes in their design impact the fun and safety of the rides. Next, they research the history of roller coasters and showcase their work using PowerPoint or a Web 2.0 presentation tool. Finally, they design their own amusement park using Sketchup (or other CAD software) and finally put it all together in a presentation to share with their dream amusement park with the class, who evaluates their design.
Materials and lessons include:
1. Teacher and Student Resources
2. Amusement Park Physics Research (Questions, on-line simulation, vocabulary) – includes student worksheet and grading key
3. History of Roller Coasters Project (PowerPoint, Web 2.0, research)
4. Creating an Amusement Park in Sketchup Project (research, CAD design, PowerPoint summary and presentation to the class).
5. Student Presentation Evaluation Sheet
I've used this lesson with 8th graders in a high school credit Engineering class for several years and it is one of their favorites. I hope you students enjoy it!

10 Static Electricity Experiments for Elementary School
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Static electricity, also called electrostatics, happens when electric charge builds up on the surface of an object. This charge can be positive or negative. It forms when atoms in a material gain or lose electrons.
When two objects rub against each other, electrons move from one to the other. One object ends up with extra electrons and a negative charge. The other loses electrons and gets a positive charge.
You often feel static electricity when you walk across a carpet and touch a metal object. That tiny shock you feel is static electricity at work!
This helpful e-book includes ten easy experiments that show how static electricity works. You can do all of them safely at home or in the classroom. They only need simple, everyday items.
Each experiment has clear, step-by-step instructions. There is also a short explanation after each one, so young students can easily understand what’s happening.
Have fun exploring the amazing world of static electricity!
