Lab: Newtonian Balance

For this lab, you will be developing your own theories on the laws of motion, conducting observations and using those observations to refine your theory. 

​

Objectives/Parameters:

• you will rotate through the four stations, conducting observations at each using each observation to refine your own theory on the laws of motion

• we will then come back together as a class to discuss your theories and develop one unified theory as a class

• conduct further observations to ensure the new theory holds true.

​

LEARNING TARGETS

• development of a hypothesis using observations

• refining a hypothesis into a theory using further observations and testing

• development of understanding through inquiry of the laws of motion
