Students experience the process of creating a whole elevator-shaft design complete with a car and a pulley system. They will experience an integrated STEAM lesson with combined content from Science (physics: gravity and forces, Technology (pulley system), Engineering (constructing the shaft, car, pullet and cable with provided classroom materials), and Arts (creative design).

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
This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.
Students will use a kid friendly online CAD modeling program to create a car design. Students will then carve their car using floral wet foam, wheels and axels to race in the derby.
