Summary of Digital Lab: Momentum
Summary of Digital Lab: Momentum
Momentum (1): Investigate
Summary:
The goal of this virtual lab is to investigate the factors that can impact momentum on an icy road.
Driving Questions:
- Determine how the mass of Car #1 affects the momentum of Car #1 before the collision.
- Determine how the velocity of Car #1 before the collision affects the total velocity after the collision.
- Determine how the velocity of Car #1 before the collision affects the total momentum after the collision.

Momentum (3): Predict
Summary:
The goal of this virtual lab is to make predictions using mathematics as students explore the factors that impact momentum on an icy road. Beta: Rex is only available for certain tasks and not all aspects of the activity are assessed.
Driving Questions:
- Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the mass of Car #1 affects the momentum of Car #1 before the collision.
- Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the velocity of Car #1 before collision affects the total velocity after the collision.
- Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the velocity of Car #1 before collision affects the total momentum after the collision.
