Fast Food Racecars
In this hands-on lesson, students will explore how speed is calculated, what inertia is and apply it to Newton’s Laws of Motion. They use the engineering design process to construct race cars out of fast food materials.

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
Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety
Could Iron Man actually survive a superhero landing? In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to create a "suit" for an egg to protect it from being dropped on the ground. They
