Magnetic Powered Cars
by Huda Clemens
In this STEM Challenge, the student’s task is to build a car that is powered only by the force (push or pull) of a pair of magnets. Students experience push and pull first-hand as they construct their own model of a car to test and record observations.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

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
