Skateboard Half-Pipe Investigation Kit

In this investigation, students figure out how to use patterns to predict a skateboarder’s motion and location in a half-pipe. The Skateboard Half-Pipe kit includes all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation. Each kit contains enough materials for six groups of students.  Materials : Marbles Number Stickers Track Towers Tracks Track Connectors Stopwatch ​​​​​Alignment with Academic Standards for Science  ​​​Source  Code  Performance Expectation  NGSS  PS2-2:  Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion    ​​​Core Idea(s)  PS3: Forces and Motion  PS7: Energy Transfer and Transformations   Practices  SEP1: Asking questions and defining problems  SEP3: Planning and carrying out investigations   SEP4: Analyzing and interpreting data  SEP6: Constructing explanations and designing solutions  SEP7: Engaging in argument from evidence  SEP8: Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information   Crosscutting Concepts  CC1: Patterns  CC5: Energy and matter  Note: The product images shown may be for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.
