Noodling with Newton Teacher Resource Kit  (PS-2801)

Introduce Newton's Laws and help your students learn about the relationship between mass, acceleration, force and motion.

Includes six hands-on investigations that provide approximately 18 days of classroom activities. Your students will use a Motion Sensor to measure their own velocity, a Force Sensor to measure push and pull and investigate concepts in speed, acceleration and more.

Student Learning Objectives

• Recognize push or pull as a force
• Relate an object's motion to the forces exerted on it
• Understand how multiple forces affect the magnitude and direction of the resultant force
• Understand the relationship between force and motion

PASCO Teacher Resource Kits

Each Teacher Resource Kit (TRK) is a collection of standards-based lessons with an inquiry focus designed to guide students and teachers through progressive exploration of key scientific themes. Each TRK is a combination of written and electronic materials organized to make it easy for you to plan, prepare and guide your students through innovative lessons incorporating sensor technology when and where appropriate.

Noodling with Newton Teacher Resource Kit (PS-2801)

This curricular unit provides a series of six standards-based lessons to build a solid foundation in the concepts of force and motion. Provides lesson planning information, teacher and student background materials, classroom posters, plus Electronic Workbooks which guide students through probeware-based activities.

We recommend one Teacher Resource Kit per classroom.

Noodling with Newton Probeware Bundle (PS-2702A)

This bundle provides the probeware needed for the hands-on activities in the Noodling with Newton Teacher Resource Kit. With this equipment, your students will measure force, velocity, and acceleration. Our starter software, DataStudio Lite, is included free with your order.

We recommend one bundle per computer/lab station of 3-4 students

Noodling with Newton Accessory Kit (PS-2502)

A convenient kit of additional equipment and materials required for student investigations, including GOcar, an ultra-low friction cart for investigating how forces affect motion.

We recommend one for each Noodling with Newton Probeware Bundle.
