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.

This is part 2 of a two part lesson called Sailing Down the Road. In this lesson students will design a sail that can successfully catch the wind and cause their cardboard car (from part 1) to drive
Problem - Solution is a type of text structure. The objective of this lesson is for students to further understand defining problems and identifying solutions. Students will make a 3D model using
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
