Sailing Down the Road: Part 1
In part one of this two-part lesson series, students will learn about (or review) the force of push and pull and how this applies to energy transfer. Students will gain an understanding of these concepts with the idea of pushing cars. Students will then engage in the Engineering Design Process by designing and building a cardboard car that utilizes a simple wheel and axle made from a straw and Life Savers candies! Students will test and improve their car until it can drive straight forward when pushed. The car will be used in part two of the lesson series where students will design and create a sail for the car.

In this lesson, students will use the story of "The Three Little Superpigs and the Gingerbread Man" as the context to complete a hands-on STEM activity where they are responsible for building a trap
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
This is part 3 of a unit. Links to the first 2 lessons are included. This lesson focuses on building the base for the Ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide
