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.

Students will build a propulsion system that can deliver a payload to a given location in this engaging paper rocket engineering lesson. Students think critically and problem solve as they work
This hands-on lesson is geared towards an introduction to engineering and electronics in creating a simple nanobot from cardboard, a coin battery, and vibrating motor. Students use the engineering
This is part 1 of a unit, other lessons are posted. In this lesson students will use prior knowledge of how wheels and axles work in order to create two symmetrical sides of a ferris wheel. This
