Egg Drop Lander Physics STEM Lab PHY02

Physical Science Energy STEM Bundle PHY

Middle School Physics & Energy STEM Bundle: 5 complete lab packets (15 pages total) connecting potential energy, impulse, wind power, solar heat, & friction. Bring middle school physics and physical science standards to life with the complete Physical Science & Energy STEM Lab Bundle (PHY01–PHY05)! Designed specifically for Grades 6–8, this comprehensive 15-page bundle delivers 5 hands-on, high-impact physics labs that connect potential energy, kinetic energy, forces, motion, energy transformations, and thermal physics to real-world engineering challenges. Students explore elastic potential energy, impulse-momentum cushioning, wind turbine aerodynamic lift, solar radiant heat absorption, and Newton's Third Law thrust propulsion through engaging physical science testing competitions! Each lab follows our signature clean 3-page packet format: Page 1 Teacher Guide, Page 2 Student Mission Blueprint Workspace, and Page 3 Testing Log & Scientific Reflection. 📦 What Is Included in This 5-Lab Bundle (15 Pages Total)? PHY01: Rubber Band Catapult Elastic Potential Energy STEM Lab — Elastic potential energy, Hooke's Law stretch, fulcrum mechanics, trajectory angles, and average launch distance. PHY02: Egg Drop Lander Impulse Cushioning STEM Lab — Impulse-momentum theorem, collision time extension, crumple zones, terminal velocity drag, and impact speed math. PHY03: Wind Turbine Blade Aerodynamics STEM Lab — Kinetic to electrical energy transformation, aerodynamic lift vs. drag, blade pitch angles, and voltage output improvement math. PHY04: Solar Oven Thermal Radiation STEM Lab — Radiant heat transfer, light absorption vs. reflection, greenhouse convection trapping, thermal insulation, and heating rate math.
