Intro to Momentum Conservation of Momentum Impulse Student Experience Students brainstorm the meaning of momentum. Students use different to investigate what the factors are in momentum. Students qualitatively experiment with elastic collisions to construct the conservation of momentum. Teacher leads a demonstration of elastic and inelastic collisions with a Newton’s Pendulum.

Then, students identify the factors involved in the difference. Students participate in a water balloon toss. They write about how the toss relates to the impulse equation. T4T Material Golf balls.
