Cinderella STEM
by Patricia Blickfeldt
Students will design a wind powered coach to take Cinderella to the ball using paper, straws, and life savers. They will be able to work with a group to design, test, and revise their idea before testing with the class. Following the testing, have a class discussion, and give students time to write their reflection relating their coach design to principles of forces.
