Wind Powered Car: Speed Challenge Lab
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 peers to graph class data and analyze for trends in speed. This is a three part investigation into motion and can be added into a motion unit or Newton's laws unit for Physics.

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 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
