Transportation

In Transportation, students work collaboratively to apply concepts of kinematics. In Chapter 1, students explore speed and acceleration as they try to convince their parents to permit them to use the family car. In Chapter 2, inertia, impulse, momentum, force, and pressure are taken into account when students are challenged to design an automobile safety feature. In Chapter 3, students need to learn a variety of physics principles including the physical properties of matter on Earth and in space, to write a science fiction story about a trip to the Moon, and be able to distinguish between fact and fiction.
