Synopsis

Event-Based Science

Thrill Ride! Investigations in Physics An amusement park sets the stage for exploring Newton's Laws of Motion and other basic physical science concepts. This research and standards-based NSF program taps into your students' natural curiosity, exploring the scientific concepts behind powerful events such as a tornado, the first flight, and the dynamics of riding a roller coaster. Students explore the content through hands-on activities, newspaper articles, and data collection, while testing out their hypotheses. Working in teams on an authentic task, they assume the roles of professionals working in the field. Scoring rubrics allow teachers to assess students on their performance.
