Balloon Cars
In this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a balloon powered car that travels at least 5 feet. This is a fun and engaging way for students to experience science in action and work within the engineering design process.

Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them
Students will listen to the story "Iggy Peck Architect" and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight. They will explore engineering as they plan, construct, and test
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
