STEM Car Challenge
In this fun hands on activity, students learn about reverse engineering by taking apart toy cars to see how they work. Your students will take apart simple pull back cars – when they are pulled back they wind up and when released, they move forward. After taking them apart, students have to figure out how to put all of the parts back together correctly so it works again. This is a great STEM activity to introduce engineering and is also great to learn about potential and kinetic energy. Materia
