LEGO Land Sailing Car
In this lesson, students will experiment with unseen forces and their effect on motion. Students will build a LEGO land sailing car that will be powered by wind produced from a fan. Students will engage is a land sailing video and discuss what they know about what is causing the car to move.
Students will experiment with their car to find the best sail angle and shape for making the land yacht travel the farthest distance. Students will collect data and explain their observations about the forces they noticed. Students will have the opportunity to design a new land sailing car.

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
Students design and test a device for an egg drop in this engaging and hands-on lesson. They will document their data, make modifications to designs, and assess what the outcome is of their own drop
