● Students read about how the laws of motion apply to sports and brain protection with helmets. ● After reading, students partner up and develop a system to protect an astronaut's brain from impacts. Cold call on students to share their answers. Correct any misconceptions and have students develop and build a device to protect an egg from impact.
