This lesson gets students to understand through experimentation how the basic safety features of a car work by increasing the time over which an accident takes place:
. airbags
.seatbelts
. crumple zones
Students play with force and momentum calculations to help explain the safety features. They start by calculating the force exerted on an egg when it hits a brick wall and when it hits a towel (best to go outside for this one).
This lesson worked well for my low ability year 11 students as it was very visual for them and they could really relate to the content and examples.
