This multi-day activity is designed for introductory 5th grade STEM after school club. On Day 1, each student will build and test a simple roller coaster following the teacher’s instructions. Students
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with
