Wheels and Movement: Air Powered Vehicles
by Lisa Harris
In this lesson, students will learn about air resistance, friction, and Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will then collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an engineering design challenge of creating a vehicle from K'Nex, powered by air.
