- Abstract:
In an open-ended design activity, students use everyday materials (milk cartons, water bottles, pencils, straws, candy) to build a small-scale transportation device. They incorporate the use of a wheel and axle, and lever into their design. Students choose their materials and engineer a solution suitable to convey pyramid-building materials (small blocks of clay). Students race their carts/trucks; measure distance, time and weight; and calculate speed.
