Spinner Challenge
In this engaging lesson, students engineer spinners to demonstrate force and motion. They are provided with materials and use pennies to help create a better balance. Students compete to see who can create the spinner that spins the longest.

In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this
Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.
