5 NASA Balloon Powered Car

This session seeks to investigate Newton’s third law of motion by providing a hands-on lesson for teacher involvement: NASA Balloon-Powered Cars, which teachers can implement into their curriculum and use with diverse gifted learners. The content in this session consists of teacher participation in hands-on activities, visual demonstrations, and power-point demonstrations. Handouts will include NASA Balloon-Car materials. Attendees will increase their understanding of and comfort with the nature of science and the scientific process through the context of an interesting, real-world, scientific, interactive, hands-on lesson. Additionally, they will examine Newton's Second and Third Laws through the creation of NASA Balloon-Powered Cars and examine NASA teacher websites.
