Listen "100. Celebrating 100 Episodes: A Lesson on Exploring Air Resistance"
Episode Synopsis
Show Summary: Welcome to episode 100 of The STEM Space! In celebration, Natasha and Claire rant about one of their favorite topics: why does science education always ignore aerodynamic drag? In this episode, Natasha shares a simple science inquiry lab on exploring whether all objects fall at the same rate, the results from her students, and then how they applied an understanding of gravity and drag to an engineering design challenge.Links from the Show: Related The STEM Space Podcast Episodes 93.
