Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
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 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
