Description:
In the science festival, we are to choose a partner of our choice to choose a science topic to study for the next month to be able to have enough knowledge of the topic to present it. After a few weeks, each partnership will teach a class of 3rd graders their science topic and have a hands on workshop for the kids. With science, there is a never ending spectrum and we as a class decided to teach the kids the wonders of science. People in our class has chosen so many topics like, Newtons laws, Pressure, Sound waves, Momentum and so much more.
Topic: Momentum
Me and my partner Eric decided to choose momentum because we thought it would be interesting to teach/explain and wanted to have some sort of tie with forensics science. At first we tried to do Trace Evidence but realized that wasn't really science. Momentum still ties into crime investigations because if there was a car crash the detectives need to figure out how fast the car was going and how much momentum it was carrying to make such an impact. What we have learned from research so far is momentum is made up of velocity and mass (P = M * V). I would like to research more about it to see interesting examples of how momentum works and its different aspects of what is can do.
