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 utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat! Students must design and build a sailboat that will get them from one end of the channel where they are stranded to the other. It
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
