This lesson explores how cars can be designed to ensure the safety of children passengers. Through a read- aloud, the students will see how a young child was able to design a car in the story "If I
This is part two of a two-part lesson set. In this lesson, students will conduct test flights on their rockets, gather and analyze their flight data, and make improvements based on the results. They
This is one lesson in a two part lesson set. In this first lesson, students review balanced and unbalanced forces in preparation for how these forces apply to rockets! They will then research rocket
The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be
Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and
Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the
Students will use the engineering design process to plan and build a bridge that will hold the most amount of weight.
Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be
