In this hands-on lesson, students will attempt two builds. Students will identify weaknesses and strengths in both of their structures. They will then evaluate the effectiveness of their builds.
In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
In this outstanding lesson, students will explore circuitry through working collaboratively to build a working floor piano out of simple materials. Students explore the engineering design process by
