Inertia Hat, Falling Stones, Pull-Me Cart, Newton in a Petri Dish, Crash Dummies

Hi everyone!!!! ( Thanks to Beth for doing this!!)

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about these labs. We actually combined them all into a one day lab and just made stations! It worked out great! One Tip: Instead of using skateboards, I used two rolling chairs (mine and another teachers) and that worked just fine! Plus, it wasn't as scary to let them pull each other across the room since they were sitting down! The inertia hat hangs down low, almost past their shoulders........ and I was adjusting it and re-adjusting it throughout the day...... it was also their favorite one!

Side Note..... although I'm sure you've noticed! A LOT of the answer sheets are WRONG.... WAY wrong...... Always double check! I'm glad I did! Anyway, I hope all is well and as I remember things I'll pass it on! Good Luck!
