Newton's Second Law e-Lab

by Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling University (West Virginia)

During this 60 minute video conference, your students will learn basic concepts of Newton’s Second Law and how it happens around them every day. Students will investigate a variety of situations and discover how force, mass, and acceleration are related to one another. They will witness live demonstrations from the Lab Director that will deepen their understanding of this topic and also show how Newton’s second law of motion occurs in space. After core concepts are demonstrated and reviewed, each team will present a report for the class and Lab Director.

In addition to offering award winning, state-of-the-art programs in a $500,000 space simulator, the Challenger Learning Center, thanks to technology, brings its innovative programs to distant classrooms around the world through its electronic distance-learning programs, known as e-Missions. The CLC flies more than 800 e-Missions for schools, many located in traditionally underserved districts, each year. We provide FREE Teacher Training sessions via video conference for any of our distance learning programs.

The Challenger Learning Center® also offers adult and student learners the chance to climb aboard a space station and complete a mission in the role of astronauts, scientists, and engineers with its Corporate Missions. A successful mission requires critical thinking, leadership, cooperation, and problem solving.

Program Details

Format

The program begins with the Lab Director performing some experiments that demonstrate Newton's Second Law. The teams will use an on-line computer interface to view various video clips and the students will work collaboratively to prepare a Lab Journal that documents their observations and explanations.

Objectives

Students will learn about how force, mass, and acceleration are related. They will be able to identify how Newton's Second Law is seen in various video clips and they will document their findings/observations. In addition, each team will give a report on their investigation work to the class and Lab Director.
