STEM Candy Cars
by Kasi Johnson
In this lesson, students design, build and test model candy cars made from simple materials. They measure the changes in distance and travel by the addition of revision of design features.
Students also practice the steps of the engineering design process by brainstorming, planning, building, testing, and improving their "candy -cars."
