Building a Solar Car
This lesson is a 7th-grade STEM lesson with Arizona science standards. Students will be exposed to different forms of energy with sustainability concepts built into the lesson. Encourages students to use renewable sources of energy like solar energy.
Students design a Solar Car using their background knowledge of energy and circuits.
Build solar-powered automobiles with the help of this inspiring STEM lesson for middle schoolers. Students will learn about the principles of renewable energy, create their own vehicles out of low-cost materials, and use solar energy to power them. Students will investigate the concepts of circuits, energy transmission, and problem-solving through practical construction and testing while developing teamwork and critical thinking abilities.

Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
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
This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper
