In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will design and build a sail to put on a raft. They will test the strength of their sail by placing a fan in front of it and seeing if the fan makes the raft move. This lesson offers an excellent opportunity for students work through the engineering design process.

Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.
This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car
This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.
