Physical Science
Motion and Design
In this unit, students will investigate matter, forces, energy, and the impact of design elements on the transfer of energy. Students will design, build, and test a catapult to explore the concepts of force, energy, friction, and gravity. This unit will also introduce the steps of the scientific method.
