Modeling Additive Velocity With Spreadsheets — NASA JPL lessonScience · Physics · Grades 6–12Lesson plan

Students apply their knowledge of Newton’s laws and the relationship between mass, force, acceleration, distance, and time to a real-world problem. They will determine the velocity and distance traveled by a spacecraft that uses electric propulsion, like NASA's Dawn and Psyche spacecraft. Then, students will graph the data they generate. Materials Computer(s) with spreadsheet software Management The model will work with a variety of spreadsheet software programs and versions. The Procedures bel
