In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy
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
In this hands-on lesson, students build small-scale wind-powered cars. They construct an understanding that energy is transferred from the wind to the sail car. Students explain how they used
