Spinner Challenge
In this engaging lesson, students engineer spinners to demonstrate force and motion. They are provided with materials and use pennies to help create a better balance. Students compete to see who can create the spinner that spins the longest.

This is the 3rd part of the lesson series where students will determine the thrust and stability of their water bottle rockets to answer their essential question: Using the Design Process how can we
Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
