This resource turns designing protective gear into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 physics, covering the same idea from three different angles.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "Which design constraint could lead to the development of more innovative materials for helmets?", "What is a common method used to improve the energy dissipation of helmet materials?", and "Why is it important for a helmet's padding to have low compression set?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned physics unit. The unit also covers Energy Transfer in Collisions, Types of Collisions, Force, Mass, and Impact, Engineering Crash Cushions, Data Collection in Impacts, and Simulated Crash Testing, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-PS3-3.
