Moon Landers
In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed landers in the past. They will think about the forces that are acting on the lander and choose materials that can absorb the shock force of the impact. Students will design, build, test and improve upon their design to safely land their astronauts on the moon.

Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
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
Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
