Abstract
This lesson focuses on the engineering design process and creative problem-solving. Students identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces in order to create a visual representation. As a culminating activity, students design, build, and test Lego cars powered by wind energy.
Students will gain an understanding of an object's position, direction, and speed when acted by unbalanced forces, as well as create a visual representation of the data collected.
