Electric Car/Rover
Students will design and build an electric car from simple craft materials. Students will complete an electric circuit and use gears to change the motor speed from too fast with little torque to slower with more torque. Advanced students may even try to change the gear ratios to change speed and torque more by building gear boxes using simple plastic gears and metal axles. Students will also see how energy can be stored in different ways. Elastic potential energy vs chemical potential energy.

Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Students learn about kinetic and potential energy using cardboard cars and catapults, including the science and math concepts behind them, as they prepare for the associated activity in which they
In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson
