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 hands-on lesson is geared towards an introduction to engineering and electronics in creating a simple nanobot from cardboard, a coin battery, and vibrating motor. Students use the engineering
This is part 1 of a unit, other lessons are posted. In this lesson students will use prior knowledge of how wheels and axles work in order to create two symmetrical sides of a ferris wheel. This
In this engaging lesson, students will research and design rhythm sticks. They will use them in music and PE class to exercise and create music with. This hands-on lesson incorporates multiple areas
