FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Need for Speed: A STEM Project”

by One Room Schoolhouse
4th - 6th Grade


Low Prep Unit!! Just print and gather STEM materials.

 

Goal: Students will create an aerodynamic car that can travel the greatest distance in the shortest amount of time. The car will travel down a ramp. Distance traveled will be measured from the bottom of the ramp.

Students will explore how wheel and axles, air resistance, and mass affect the speed of a car they design. This unit is laid out step by step for the teacher and students. Students watch a video or two, answer a few questions, and explore the concept through experiments.
