In this Crash Science in the Classroom hands-on inquiry-based activity, Dr. Griff Jones asks students to incline ruler ramps to explore how mass affects a marble’s “bashing power.”

The Crash Science in the Classroom website is a free education resource for students and teachers. It expands on the topics explored in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s two popular science education films, “Understanding Car Crashes: It’s Basic Physics” and “Understanding Car Crashes: When Physics Meets Biology.”

IIHS collaborated with Dr. Jones, a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching, and the University of Florida College of Education's Department of E-Learning, Technology and Communications Services to create Crash Science in the Classroom.

The website includes both films and several hands-on activities. Each activity features content for students and password-protected teacher resources, including lesson plans and answer keys. The activities, which align with Next Generation Science Standards, focus on topics such as inertia, momentum, impulse and energy. Additional videos and other crash-safety resources are also available.

The website aims to reinforce important physics and biology concepts while providing students the knowledge to make safe decisions while riding in or driving a vehicle.
