What educators are saying

So far I've used the Egg Car Challenge with my 5th grade classes, and it was very engaging! I plan to do Newton's cradle next. I would definitely use this resource again! It's a good connection to our understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion.
My students loved using these to learn more about Newton's laws. It really helped them to apply what we talked about in class.

    Description

    Do your students struggle to understand Newton's Laws of Motion? Here’s a set of three challenges that all involve those laws! Students will be involved in total hands-on learning as they tackle the second and third laws specifically and designing bottle cars, egg cars, and Newton’s cradles! Fabulous and fun!

    Some specifics about each design challenge:

    Bottle Car Challenge featuring Newton’s 3rd Law

    • Students will use materials to design and build a balloon-powered car. This challenge will demonstrate the third law of motion and also demand that students work together to design wheels, axles, and the blowing mechanism of their cars.
    • The tricky attachment of the axles and wheels will try their patience and create opportunities to improve their vehicles. Can the cars race down a straight track? Will the wheels roll properly? Will the balloon propel with enough force to cause forward movement?
    • This challenge is suggested for grades 4-6.

    Egg Car featuring Newton’s 2nd Law

    • Students will use materials to design and create a vehicle. The vehicle must transport cargo down a ramp in the fastest and safest way possible.
    • In addition, the vehicle will have to be stable enough to transport the precious cargo without damaging it. The cargo just happens to be an egg! Can they build a safe vehicle? How will they get the vehicle to slide or roll down the ramp? Will the cargo arrive safely? What will happen if the angle of the ramp is changed?
    • Finally, because my students really love this feature, I added a budget. Students must “purchase” materials to use and stay within a set spending amount.
    • This challenge is suggested for grades 3-5.

    Newton's Cradle Challenge - featuring Newton’s 3rd Law

    • Students will use materials to design and create a Newton’s Cradle.
    • In this event, students will review what they know about the laws of motion- especially the third law.
    • Students will have to build the frame for the device, a way to attach string to the marbles, and a way to attach string to the frame. This can include measuring as the length of the strings is a factor.
    • This challenge is suggested for grades 5-6.

    Note: All three challenges have a scoring rubric! Also, all forms in the challenges are provided in an editable format.

    Check the individual listing for each package for more information and more detailed previews.

    This set is a combination of three STEM Challenges. If you prefer they may be purchased separately:
