ALEX Learning Activity Resources

   View Standards     Standard(s): [SC2015] (4) 1 :

1 ) Use evidence to explain the relationship of the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

[SC2015] (4) 3 :

3 ) Investigate to determine changes in energy resulting from increases or decreases in speed that occur when objects collide.

In this learning activity, students will use raw eggs and a shoe box to investigate how seat belts and airbags work together to save lives during a collision.  

This activity results from the ALEX Resource Gap Project.

3 ) Investigate to determine changes in energy resulting from increases or decreases in speed that occur when objects collide.

Showing the video of a long chain reaction will allow students to understand the use of force to create the reactions that happen. 

This learning activity was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.
