In this unit, you will learn about why magnets move objects in different ways, including launching an object into space at different speeds.

Record your initial thinking about the questions below. How do you think a magnet can cause something to move?

"A magnet can cause an object to ... "

How do you think the launcher can make the spacecraft move without touching it?

"I think the launcher can make the space pod move without touching it because ... "

Why do you think the spacecraft’s speed was different on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday launches?

"I think the speed of the spacecraft might change each day because ... "

Focus Task:
Why did the spacecraft go so much faster than expected on Wednesday?
Claim 1: The Magnets were misaligned on Tuesday
Claim 2: Much more energy was in the launcher system on Wednesday than on Tuesday
Claim 3: The Magnetic force was stronger on Wednesday than on Tuesday.

Test 1: Place two parallel weak magnets 5 points away from each other so that red on top for each.

What happens to each Magnet?

0

Test 2: Place two parallel weak magnets 2points away from each other so that red on top for each.

What happens to each magnet and how is it different from test 1?

0

Test 3: Place two parallel weak magnets 5 points away from each other so that red on top for one, and blue on top for the second.

What happens to each Magnet?

Test: How do weak and strong magnets work when tested with aluminum, iron, and wood?
Aluminum (metal):
Iron (metal):
Wood (non-metal):

"The magnet caused the _, but did not move the _"
