A PBL project that allows high school physics and math students exercise voice & choice in the design of a new maker space.
Students explore how our neighborhood changes over time. Using one of the children's books recommended in the resources list, students will use ideas gathered from their own classroom windows to view these architectural and seasonal changes over time.
These hands-on activities help students to understand that the total weight of an object is equal to the sum of its parts using modeling clay and connecting toys like Legos. Students estimate and measure total weight, then the weight when disassembled or divided into smaller pieces and then again when the object is reassembled. Students record and share their experiences and data.
