Roller Coaster Marble Run
In this hands-on lesson, students will have a teacher read aloud: "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and discuss the importance of perseverance and imagination while creating, building, and testing. They will work in teams of 3 to create Roller Coaster Marble Runs out of thin foam pool noodles cut lengthwise. Students will use masking or painter's tape to assemble foam channels in various configurations to explore force and motion. They will record and share findings in a variety of ways, based on choice.

After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.
This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car
Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute
