Paper Windmill
In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a paper windmill. They put it to the test by using a fan to see how their fan holds up to the wind. This is a great way to cover science, engineering, and math concepts all in one lesson!

Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
