Force of Impact
Force of Impact is a physics based practical that highlights the damage that can be received during an accident. Its main thrust is in showing the damage that results in colliding with a sharp object compared to a blunt one.
The practical is broken into three sections. Suitable for Middle and Senior School lessons with reference to the Australia Curriculum and the recommended mathematical formulae. Links to other statistics and videos are also available.Mouse [Rat] Trap Car This one page illustrated page gives brief guides as to how to make the car from basic tools found around the home or classroom. The illustrations show a wooden rat trap available from most hardware stores, old CD or DVD discs, biro shafts, triangular rubbers and house hold string. The few additional materials are minimal and easily resourced. Rocketry From a simple alka seltzer tablet rocket to single and 2 stage water rockets all possible by using just one or several 2 litre soft drink PET bottle(s). This set of activities and ideas include hands on making, testing and analysing to then return to modify your ideas and start again. The sky is the limit - includes where materials can be sourced in Australia [even your own home] to trying your ideas out using simulation software. Bottle Soda Light Ever imaged how a room with no windows for natural light to enter could gain light cheaply? Here a Philipines home is given natural light cheaply and turns the plastic bottle once considered as rubbish into a valued asset.
The lesson challenges the user to consider what science offers us all but at the same time invites discussion on social justice issues.
