Air Hydraulic Marble Mazes
Using the Engineering Design Process, students will design and create a marble maze out of cardboard and cardstock, making sure to include all the required elements. They will then create an air hydraulic system using syringes and tubing that they will use to maneuver the marble through the maze. Students will then describe how Newton's Laws of Motion are applied to the marble.

Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute
This plan is meant for 3 days of work. Two books go with this plan. Two types of model rockets are included in this plan. Discussions and entries into a STEM Notebook are part of this plan.
