Build a Lever
Source Institutions
Learners build a lever and use it to lift a load. With the load on one end of the ruler, learners add coins to the effort cup at the other end until the load is lifted.
Forces on the Human Molecule
Source Institutions
In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.
Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.
Super Golf Tower
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.
Solar Cell Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.
3 Classes of Levers
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will move a load using a lever of each of the 3 classes. They will explore the differences between these classes and which are more effective.
