Rubber Band-it! - Contest for Young Inventors
This lesson was designed because students love to compete, and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed.
Students must use at least one rubber band, which is a prerequisite to submit their invention to the Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors. Whether or not you submit their work to the contest, STEM challenges are a win-win in your classroom or after school club!

Students will create an Operation Style Game using the Makey Makey Kits and the coding program SCRATCH. Students will learn how to create circuits and use the Makey Makey Kits to complete circuits to
Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.
This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.
